GAME FILM
#3 Caleb Farley vs Notre Dame (2019)

 Strengths: He has the ideal size, length, speed, and versatility of a shutdown cornerback—a physical press cover that can play in man or zone scheme coverages. He is a cerebral player who once was a quarterback and recruited as a wide receiver, has excellent recognition of the routes. He has good fluid hips that allow him to turn, plant, and break on the receiver/ball with excellent control of his body.If he gets beat off the line, he has excellent recovery speed to get back and make a play on the ball. His versatility allows him to outside or inside and will not in any compromising situations. He has excellent leaping ability and will challenge on 50/50 throws down the field. He has good strong hands that rip at the ball after possed by the receiver. Will come up for run support and make the necessary stops.
​
Weaknesses: A knee injury his freshman year cause him to miss his first season. Converter to cornerback the next year and only two years removed from receiver to cornerback. Set out the entire 2020 season due to the pandemic before declaring for the 2021 NFL Draft. Still learning the position and will need to work more to clean out the rawness. He allows the receivers to find the field's soft spot converting in his area in zone coverages. Against the run, he needs to be more aggressive on tackles, not going too low under the pad level.

Draft Projection: 1st Round - 2nd Round

NFL Comparison: Patrick Peterson (Minnesota Vikings)
