strengths

weaknesses

  • He is a cerebral player who reads and knows the concepts of offensive formations and plays recognition.
  • He has excellent awareness and will identify screens and avoid the blockers to make the tackle.
  • He is one of the scrappiest cornerbacks, a ball hawk with a knack for finding the ball. He is aggressive and seizes on the opportunity to rise to make a break on the ball.
  • He does not have the height to play outside cornerback but has the skills to play outside.
  • He has quick feet and fluid hips to open up and run with the receiver.
  • He has good recognition in the red zone and timely makes plays to prevent scores.
  • He will highpoint the ball and use his impressive leaping ability against the taller, more athletic receivers.
  • He does not play much press coverage, as he tends to play off coverage against the receiver, which leads to easy receptions.
  • He peeks at the quarterback and loses focus on the receiver, who will slip behind him for a deep pass down the field.
  • He will take poor angles to make tackles.
  • He underestimates his timing when breaking the ball and misses badly.​

strengths

weaknesses

  • He has an average arm strength for the NFL, but he can make the throws to the short and immediate routes. mobile
  • He throws the ball with a lightning-quick release as he releases with an absurd zip on the ball. 
  • He uses that release to place the ball through tiny windows and takes the risk.
  • He has excellent pocket presence and will drop back and stand in the pocket to make throws after absorbing punishing hits.
  • He can stand in his pocket, go through his progressions, and move the safety with his eyes.
  •  He can make the pre-snap reads, recognize the present coverages, and create adjustments.
  • When the protection breaks down, he uses mobility to move around and will run to move the chains.​​
  •  He needs to have the arm strength to push the ball deep down the field. 
  • He needs help to make the deep throughs outside with strength to the receiver.
  • He needs to be more accurate with his throws and needs help to make throws in the mid-level of the field.
  • He has heavy feet, and while being pressured, he can not make accurate throws while on the move. 
  •  He tends to force throws instead and check through his progression to extend the play and check down to the back.
  • He must work on his arm strength to push the ball deep down the field

STRENGTHS

WEAKNESSES

  • He has long arms, long legs, and a bulky frame.
  • He can play physically against the run at the point of attack and shed blocks to make the tackle.
  • He plays with a high motor and runs all around until the sound of the whistle
  • He accelerates and can win with pure speed off-the-line scrimmage with a burst of speed to throw off the tackles target. 
  • He uses an arsenal of pass-rush moves, varying speed to power, and his long arms to counter blocks.
  • He plays with a twitch, and his bulky frame has an excellent bend with power.
  • He will use his bull rush to collapse the pocket quickly, spin inside or out, and beat the blocker.
  •  Against NFL linemen, he lacks the ideal size and strength to match up against the run.
  • He needs to add about 20 pounds of muscles and get stronger to play on every down at the next level.
  • At Appalachian St, he struggled against the run and was pulled out of games.
  • With RPO, misdirection, and quarterback runs, he will over-pursue and relinquish his edge.
  • He demonstrates poor eye discipline when he drops in coverage and gets caught staring in the backfield.
  • He looks uncomfortable dropping in coverage and may become a pass-rush specialist.

strengths

weakness

  • He is athletic and has the prototypical size with a nice frame, length, speed, and wingspan for an EDGE rusher.
  • He is a versatile defender with agility and defensive strategy that makes him havoc for most offenses.
  • His versatility allowed him to play multiple defensive alignments at Ole Miss.
  • He is best when lined up as a classic 5-tech or wide-9 outside of the offensive tackle.
  • He can set an edge quickly against the run and uses his length to get himself in position to make stops.
  • He uses his impressive speed to close after getting around the edge to make plays.
  • He uses his athletic ability, long legs, and strong hands to push offensive linemen, work around blockers, and maintain his eyes in the backfield.
  • He has good speed and lateral movement; his speed and lateral movement make him exciting to watch and productive on the field.
  • His length and upper-body strength helps him to shed blocks with relative ease and change directions smoothly.
  • ​We find deficiencies against the run, and he will struggle when aligned inside the offensive tackle. 
  • Despite his ability to change directions, he needs more fluidity and understanding of the difficulty when attempting to bend the edge. 
  • Competent offensive linemen can pick this up quickly and push him beyond his target areas.
  • He lacks the playing strength to avoid being washed out by double teams or backside blocks.
  • He will get above the pad off the snap while in his pass rush route, leading to him getting blown backward.
  • He expects to win every down of his raw talent and skills, but he needs to improve his technical skills.  
  • As a bull rusher, he will need to add more strength to his lower body; he peaks out after two or three steps.

strengths

weakness

  • His thick, bulked frame leaves his body breaking hits as a tackler.
  • He plays with an unbelievably high motor while on the prowl and always keeps a radar in his eyes.
  • He is a solid run-stopper who will fly downhill in a feisty manner and dislodge the ball from ball carriers. 
  • He uses the combination of speed and power to blitz in the run gaps and, while on the blitz, is cerebral enough to recognize a run play.
  • He does not shy away from contact with the lineman as he will meet them head-on and can shed the block.
  • He scrapes through traffic to get to the run gaps keeping his body squared to his target.
  • He has above-average lateral speed to get sideline to sideline to make tackles on draws and RPOs.
  • Some teams may shy away from drafting as he is a 24-year-old rookie.
  • He is not fluid in the hips, needs more flexibility for zone/man turns, and change-of-direction ability will be heightened at the next level.
  • He needs help identifying a lineman that will pull or combinate blocks and wash him out of the play.
  • He needs to solidify gap integrity when playing out the scope of the defensive scheme in the box.
  • He missed too many tackles due to a short tackling radius and was not able to shed blocks while in pursuit

  • He is elusive in the open field, navigates and runs through traffic, and generates yards after the catch.
  • He is a Swiss army knife, as he catches bubble screens, jet sweeps, and double duty in the return game.

weakness

  • He is still raw at his position, as he needs to purify his skill to reach its highest potential. 
  • He needs to refine his route running to get crisper for the next level. 
  • His route running needs work
  • He has numerous drops from lack of concentration trying to run before reeling in the catch.
  • Limited as a slot receiver at Nebraska, with his speed, he will need to work hard to play outside the hash.

Los Angeles Rams Day Three Projections

steven avila tcu #36 (round 2)

Picture
​The Los Angeles Rams enters Day Three of the 2023 NFL Draft with nine selections remaining. 
The Rams selected TCU's versatile offensive lineman Steven Avila with their 36th selection. At some throughout Avila's collegiate career, he played all positions on the offensive line. 

Avila initially was TCU's starting center; however, when Sonny Dykes was named head coach, he brought his starting center with him from SMU and forced Avila to move to guard. Avila proudly accepted that move as he would dominate it by allowing zero sacks and was named All-Big XII First-Teams by numerous media channels.

byron young tennessee #77 (round 3)

Picture
Ram's General Manager, Les Snead, indicated earlier in the week that the scouts were concerned with the "Black Hole" (no fourth-round selection) and expected to move down to acquire that selection.

The Rams traded back; they moved from #69 to #73 and swapped their #73 to #89 with the New York Giants while acquiring a fourth-round selection (#128).

When it was time to make a selection at #77, the Rams remained firm with not moving that pick as they selected the player they had scouted all along. At the #77th overall pick, the Rams selected Byron Young, the speedy EDGE rusher from Tennessee.

Young had a success story that no one wanted him out of high school; therefore, he worked as an assistant manager at The Dollar Store. His passion for playing football never left his heart, as he decided to start working out and enrolled at Georgia Military College.

Young's hard work paid off by earning him a scholarship to the University of Tennessee and being selected as the SEC All-American First-Team player. Young was one of the prospects that were 24 years of age, as many teams may have been concerned about his age rather than selecting him in the higher rounds.

kobie turner wake forest #89 (Round 3)

Picture
As the Rams approached their #89 selection, many expected them to select a wide receiver, cornerback, or tightend. However, knowing the unorthodox ways of Snead drafts and his trades, he threw a sinker at the Ramily nation. 

At the #89 pick, the Rams selected a player on many teams scouting reports as a UDFA (undrafted free agent). The Rams selected Wake Forest defensive tackle Kobie Turner, a graduate transfer from the University of Richmond. Turner better known as "The Conductor", as he composes music, was a two-time Colonial Athletic Association First-Team selection.​

​Turner knew he needed to film more of himself at a Power-5 school to be seen by scouts. That he did, Ram's defensive line coach, Eric Henderson, had his eyes on him the entire time as the Rams selected Turner with that 89th selection. As McVay passed the phone to Coach Henderson to speak with Turner, we witnessed the excitement in Henderson's eyes and his voice that he had his guy (watch video).

game highlights 
​(2022)

strengths

  •  He has the prototypical elite size for an NFL traditional pocket-passing quarterback.
  • His skill level is built for pro-style NFL or west coast offense played in a west-coast system in college. flashes
  • He can stand in the pocket tall, square his shoulder to his receiver, and go through his progressions before delivering the ball. 
  • He can throw the ball at short or intermediate levels with strength and accuracy
  • He demonstrated good footwork, even under pressured situations, and will climb the pocket, reset his feet and nail his target down the field
  • He can place the ball in a tight window in the middle of the field to receivers in a zone or press coverages.
  • He will throw the ball over the field and not hesitate to hit his check down.
  • He has surprising speed for a quarterback of his stature.

weakness

  • He played only two seasons after serving on a mission in Brazil for two years with little talent.
  • Defenses learned his weakness and exposed them weekly after weeks of film study.
  • He needs to react faster when he goes to his progressions due to misconception of the coverages.
  • He throws the ball too hard; he needs to learn to slow down his pass velocity, as he prides himself on pinpoint accuracy.
  • His mechanics could be better when forced to move in and out of the pocket; his legs, hips, and arms must be properly lined to deliver accurate passes. 
  • He shows stiffness and lacks talent whenever he needs to run.
  • He needs to gain the strength of a quarterback his size, unsuccessful on most quarterback sneaks of one yard.

STRENGTHS

WEAKNESS

  • With his basketball background, she sees the experience and resemblance of basketball moves on his light feet.
  • He plays well on the move and can get his body balanced and operational in zone-blocking schemes.

  • When he is able to get his helmet on the right side, he can drive the defender with an angle block and flush them out of the run gap. 
  • He uses his length and wing span as a pass protector and keeps his grip on the defender until the whistle blows.
  • He is a skilled blocker with great arm length but needs better hand placement.
  • He needs to block better in space when extending past the line of scrimmage.
  • He needs to work on blocking at the second level of defenders and lose his power when needing to drive the defender.
  • He has horrible mechanics as a pass protector can get choppy and erratic in his counter.
  • He does not get out well with a kick-slide when primarily trying to recover late.
  • He struggles immensely against athletic and crafty pass rushers.

strengths

  • He is versatile, fast, and has the prototypical size and frame for an NFL cornerback.
  • He has quick feet, very fluid, as he can come out of the break with the receiver in man coverage.
  • His versatility allows him to line up all over the defensive backfield, including locking down in the slot. 
  • He excels in press coverage and will jam his quick and powerful hands into the receiver's chest.
  • He has excellent skills with the ball as he plays with tremendous confidence and competes for his work.
  •  He plays with excellent instincts; he can mirror the receiver in route and recognize the routes
  • He has excellent straight-line speed and can chase down runners from the backside.

weakness

  • He needs to add muscle mass and play more physically.
  • He struggles against the run as a mediocre tackler.
  • While in man coverage, he does not maintain his technique by not securing the inside leverage in man coverage.
  • Oddly he has under length arms at 29½" long, limited no pass deflecting radius, difficult to defend 50-50 pass or wide routes.
  • Penalties were of concern; he struggled to get his head around when the ball was in the air.

STRENGTHS

WEAKNESSES

  • He is an experienced defensive lineman who was a four-year starter.
  • He wins the leverage fight with lower pad-level consistency at the point of attack. 
  • He recognizes hi e lacks the length of an interior defensive lineman and attempts to contain leverage with one arm.
  • He has quick hands that he uses forcefully to counter against offensive linemen who are slipping.
  • He has good lateral movement and demonstrates agility with his hand in the dirt or as a stand-up.
  • He has a powerful push to the pocket with excellent leg drive and quick eye and hand coordination, knocking down balls in the passing lanes

  • He will be forced off the ball by combinations blocks because he is undersized for an NFL nose tackle. 
  • The offensive lineman will box him by playing wide due to his lack of length.
  • He will need help to disengage from the blockers and get square on lateral run plays.
  • He could be more explosive of the ball as a pass rusher allowing the defender to get their hands on his frame.
  • He will need help finding the ball and getting washed out of the play.
    He will be no more than a spot player at the next level.

strengths

weakness

  • He has an ideal size and frame, with 5% of body fat that can transform with 10 pounds of muscle core. 
  • He plays with a high motor that is always running
  • At the point of attack, he sets the EDGE and uses his physicality and strength to fend off the blockers.
  • He is swift off the snap and reacts well to get off on the edge.
  • He has good hand placement against the run to get under the lineman's pad level and use his leverage to peel off to make tackles.
  • As a push rusher, he uses an impressive bull rush, pushes and pull, and stabs with one arm to put offensive tackles on the ice.
  • He will struggle not to get caught by a pulling lineman because he lacks eye discipline and vision.He has a pattern of not sticking with his gap integrity, side steps blocks, and open-up run lanes from leaving his position.
  • He misses tackles from not getting his technique correctly by not getting his feet underneath him and driving through the player.
  • He needs to gain the twitch for an athletic edge rusher, and if he can not win with slick moves, he becomes a stalemate.
  • He does not have a great bend; he will use a wide arc to free up space.
  • Ejections from punching opposing player
  • Concerns of his issues, being suspended from two different programs, can he put that behind him is million dollar question?

strengths

  • He has a perfect size frame, physical, and blazing speed to match tall, quick outside receivers. 
  • He shows exceptional footwork, is patient, and maintains an excellent pad level to mirror release.
  • He does not get beat down the field on deep passes; he has high-quality recovery skills. 
  • He will stick to his task with excellent eye discipline in zone coverages to scan the field. 
  • He defends in off-coverages by coming off his assignment and assisting with crossing routes middle field attacks.
  • He uses his physicality in press coverages jamming receivers at the line.
  • His size can be intimidating, built like an NFL safety.
  • He uses his world-class speed to chase down players down the field or backside pursuit with intentions to strip balls away.

weakness

  • It is shocking with a track background how he demonstrates struggles coming out of breaks with stiffness in his hips. 
  • He struggles to change direction by running too fast and cannot gear down, perhaps due to his length.
  • He has tiny hands for a player of his size, which leads to inconsistency with his hands, which leads to drop interceptions, he should make with his length. 
  • With his physique, he lacks the upper-body strength to shed blocks or disengage from blockers.
  • He was flagged a lot, was too grabby, and did not get his head around to see the ball-leading penalties.

THE PRESS TECHNICIAN

STRENGTHS

WEAKNESSES

  • He has a perfect size, is athletic, and has a nice thick frame than some other top prospects at just under 200 lbs. 
  • Stevenson has adequate speed and measurables for a cornerback. 
    His traits may translate to elite level as a coverage safety with long arms that helps him with play strength against the taller receivers while pressing and attacking the ball's high point.
  • He uses his strength to jam receivers in the chest off the line to disrupt passing routes.
  • He has excellent instincts; he will anticipate reasonably and make breaks on the ball.
  • He has good recovery speed and shows good lateral movement.
​
  • He does not possess that sudden twtich; he appears to be stiff in his movement.
  •  He could be adherent in mirroring in-match press coverage; he will open up and run too quickly, not trusting his instincts.
  • He can get caught flat-footed, stumbling for not being on his toes in press coverage losing his balance.
  • He solidifies as a press corner but will struggle in off-coverage in zone defenses.
  • He will tend to trail to compensate for his lack of recovery when beaten, and he is not good at the next level.
  • He gets beat off the snap if he does not secure inside leverage and usually on crossing routes and slants. ​

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
ARIZONA ST SUN DEVILS

STRENGTHS

WEAKNESS

  • He is a versatile and physical defensive lineman with quick penetration and explosiveness at the snap of the ball.
  • He has good upper body strength and a stout lower body with powerful leg drives.
  • He can line up all over the line from multiple formations as a 1-tech or 4-tech, but most production at the 0-tech.
  • He knows how to take angles and get slim to pursue gaps with excellent leg drive and get the offensive blockers off their course.
  • He is strong enough to push them back into the run gaps to clog up the run gaps.
  • As a pass rusher, he has real leverage to create separation and an arsenal of pass-rush moves.
  • In his repertoire, he has a bull rush, swim, and a wicked spin move diverting him off the block to get to the quarterback.
  •  He is an older player for an NFL rookie defensive lineman in this 2023 NFL Draft at 24 years of age; positive to this, he has experience.
  • He struggles with massively taller linemen who will secure him and wash him out of the play.
  • His power legs do not help him against doubling team blocks and maintaining his leverage for gap integrity.
  • He will struggle to anchor at the point of attack and will be quickly displaced.
  • He lacks bends in his lower extremities and gets above pad level when he can not win at the point of attack.
  • He misses many tackles due to the physical stature of his short arms

strengths

  • He has excellent lateral agility to react and redirect to the football quickly. He is a relentless player with a high motor that pursues the ball in the backfield.
  • He has excellent instincts and patience to set the edge, read, and react.
  • He has good strength to play through and walk back offensive tackles with a powerful two-hand punch.
  • His speed allows him to beat the tackle's outside shoulder and then will shoot the inside gaps.
  • He has good closing speed, will swipe at blocker hands, and then make his counter move.

Weakness

  • ​His size will present a considerable disadvantage at the NFL Level.
  • He must add about 30 pounds to his frame, and the enormous offensive lineman will wash him out; he will never beat double-team blocks at his weight.
  • He must find a more significant bend at the top of his rush.
  • He relies on his speed to beat the blocker, and the game is much faster at the next level.

#33 ROBERT BEAL JR
SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
GEORGIA BULLDOGS

STRENGTHS

  • He was the black sheep of the national champion Georgia Bulldogs defense.
  • He has excellent acceleration off the snap with a tremendous short-area burst, as displayed at the 2023 NFL Combine with a 1.56 ten-yard split
  • He does not panic but remains poised when unblocked against the run setting his edge and containment.
  • He disengages from the lineman by using his long arms and hands inside the lineman's chest for an extension.
  • A twitchy player who uses that quickness and excellent upper body strength as a pass rusher to get home.
  • Around the arc, he shows a proper bend to get around the edge at the top of his rush.
  • He will surely win at his pass rush's second and third level.
  • He has excellent counter moves by spinning back inside to beat the blocker
  • He plays with a high motor, always running around to make plays even 30 yards down the field.

WEAKNESS

  • Against the run, he does not set his anchor to take on blocks with good knee bend, and he gets wide from his base.
  • He loses his against one-on-one blocks when he does not get
  • He needs to bulk up more strength for power, which he lacks, to become an effective bull rusher.
  • When he slants inside to take on blocks, the linemen will wash him out of the run gap due to poor leverage.
  • He needs to improve his gap integrity when he cannot win at the point of attack; he gets undisciplined and attempts to use his skills to disengage from blocks.
  • When utilizing crafty rush moves, he needs to figure out a pattern on how to utilize his hands as a counter to beat the blocker.

  • He has impressively long arms that enable leverage to sustain blocks.
  • He is a solid run blocker who displays the adequate speed at the snap of the ball and holds his leverage. 
  • He can be a mauler that drives the defender off course, opening up run lanes for the running backs.
  • He is mobile enough to climb to the second level and pick off linebackers up the field. 
  • He has heavy and elite hand usage for an NFL draftee and will have an edge in this draft.
  • He can provide a good jolt with his heavy hands and sustain excellent punches on his blocks from excellent hand placement. 
  • He has excellent timing with his hand placement and keeps his hand outside the target, not allowing them on his frame. 
  • He is slightly shorter for an NFL guard with average athleticism.
  • He lacks lateral agility and the flexibility to block athletic defensive tackles and moving targets.
  • He needs to block better in space and struggles with powerful rushers who will push him back to the pocket.

  • He must add more weight and strength to become an NFL starter.
  • Lengthy rushers he struggles against that shed his blocks quickly

  • He possesses the tools with naturalistic movement, competitive toughness, and traits that will blossom at the next level.
  • His lower body is very fluid, making him a candidate for moving to guard or center with versatility.
  • His attributes show the ability to remain in step with zone-blocking schemes and climb to the second level.
  • His transition with his feet in kick-slide in pass protection is silky features.
  • He will mirror the speedy rusher off the edge and, when beat, will use his long arms and quick feet to recover.
  • He displayed his athleticism and talent a Louisville pro day increasing his stock.
  • He has unusually long skinny legs for a lineman; he will need to bulk them up with muscle.

  • He consistently tends to be above the pad level in the run and pass protection allowing his legs to straighten up.
  • He forces himself to lunge out or bend at the waist to reach his target, which results in him not completing his blocking process.
  • He will sight of his target when lunging and be inconsistent with hand placement that allows loss of yardage or sacks.
  • His inconsistent hand placement also causes him to lose the leverage that usually gets him to reach and grabbing then be flagged for holding. 
  • He needs to develop an anchor, he needs to find as powerful bull rushers but him on his back.
  • He will likely be a two-year developmental project in the NFL as an offensive tackle or depth player.

STRENGTHS

WEAKNESSES

  • He is an athletic, versatile player with excellent quick feet and explosion from the line.
  • He blasts out of the set using proper angles to eradicate space to reach his target against EDGE rushers that line up wide of the line of scrimmage.
  • Off the snap, he will dish out thrusting blocks on the rusher and stall their movement and activity at contact.
  • He is a twitchy mover with excellent preliminary quickness to close space on defenders quickly. 
  • He utilizes his athletic ability to play outside the run game to create powerful zone combination blocks and then scrapes off to find the next target.
  • He will climb to the second and third levels to hunt down the undersized defenders and demolish them on contact.
  • He has a good kick slide with actual foot speed to extend his junctures to mirror speedy pass rushers on the arc.
  • At the point of contact, he will commonly become beaten in the run game due to his low hand placement, and his punch has a wind that makes him late on contact.
  • He tends to become off-target at the point of contact with outlandish erratic stikes with the defender.
  • He needs to get a firmer grip when engaged with a defender, as they can displace him by shedding his block to make the tackles.
  • He will to high as a pass protector, tardy with his anchor, get above the pad level, and the bull rusher blows him back.
  • He must get more bulk on his frame as a powerful rusher will continue to blow him back in pass protection.

2022 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
​MICHIGAN WOLVERINES

STRENGTHS

WEAKNESSES

  • He is an elite athlete posting a great 4.26 40-yard dash, the fastest at the 2023 NFL Combine, and a 38½" vertical jump. 
  • He has an adequate height that is excellent for an NFL cornerback.
  • He has excellent speed, is in the top percentile at the combine, and has agility.
  • Turner is around the ball consistently, he is swift, and twitchy, and his athletic ability is second to none in this draft. 
  • He can stay glued to the hip of the receivers who are challenged to read their route combination and not lose any speed.
  • He will cut off receivers' routes propelling them to modify their routes by staying square.
  • He is very cerebral, quickly to identify the ball in the air or the run.​
  • He is merely 176 pounds; he will need to gain weight and strength to allow his top percentile speed to allow him to flourish at the next level.
  • Turner will have a challenging time in the NFL using his most helpful trait if he does not have the strength to match that speed.
  • He offers nothing in run support or plays in traffic; blockers will drive him for a ride to his nearest bus stop.
  • The taller, more physical receivers could push him up and box him away from the ball.
  • He needs to find better techniques for tackling, as he missed many.
  • He needs to improve in locating the ball; he prefers playing the receiver than turning his head to find the ball.
  • Turner did not bench press at the combine, showing that he either has something to hide, like he has the strength one would expect from a 176 lb. athlete, or that he can show us on the field better than he can show us in the weight room. ​

OKLAHOMA SOONERS

strengTHs

  • .He has an excellent frame, intriguing long arms, and is athletic for an NFL lineman.
  • He utilizes his arms on reach blocking and limiting the opportunities of EDGE rushers disengaging off his blocks.
  • We can witness his athleticism as he rapidly gets out of stance with excellent lateral movement as we run through the play.
  • He moves well in space, coming off combination blocks and climbing to the second level in transition.
  • His metier is as a pass protection, mirroring EDGE rushers who are athletic, speedy, and good end benders to match his athleticism.
  • He displays his athleticism additionally as a pass protector with smooth flexibility and his ability to move in space.
  • He only allowed four sacks in his two seasons as a starter.
  • He subbed 5.00 seconds in the forty, translating to him getting out in front for screens and tosses.

weakness

  • As a run blocker, he needs to get stronger, bulk up, and more additional development to be effective at the next level.
  • He needs to use his size to incorporate more viciousness and grit in his game.
  • He struggles with blocks at the initial point of attack.
  • As a pass protector, his lack of strength allows defenses to focus on his lack of anchor.
  • He needs to keep his base broad when kick-sliding as his feet tend to cross up, causing him to stumble.
  • He can get erratic with his hand placement as it tends to get below the pad level.

strengths

  • In a nutshell, Hodges-Tomlinson is a smallish but quintessential slot cornerback prospect.
  • He has the quick twitch and speed to produce in short spaces, no pun intended. 
  • He is small by NFL standards but is a football player allowing only a 38.9 % passer rating when targeted during his senior season.
  • He is more than a willing participant tackler, which is a priority for nickel cornerbacks.
  • He has impressive measurements at the 2023 NFL Combine were impressive.
  • He posted a 4.41-second 40-yard dash and 39" vertical, and 11'0" broad jump, showing high explosiveness from his legs. 
  • Of the top 15 CB prospects, Hodges-Tomlinson is more of an enigma because a general manager would have to fall in love with him as a football player rather than concentrate on his height as a deterrent to drafting him.

weakness

  • He is an undersized cornerback who will struggle and get beat by taller and more physical receivers.
  • He does not possess the height and has a limited radius to defend.
  • He will not have a fair opportunity alone on an island; he will be more than a slot or nickel corner in the NFL.
  • He was flagged a lot for holding because he lacked the strength to muscle up with physical receivers.
  • He will struggle on curl and comeback routes; he needs to anticipate better on the breaks.
  • He has to over-fight to stay intact with the receiver in route progressions.
  • He gets eaten alive on screenplays because he struggles to shed blocks and come off to make tackles.
  • He was susceptible to double moves and beaten badly because he always was caught looking in the backfield.
  • He will tackle due to him being overaggressive.
