Strengths: He has the perfect size for an outside NFL wide receiver that will become a defensive back nightmare. He has the built of an outside linebacker that is very physical, strong, and powerful. He is tremendously explosive off the line of scrimmage, has excellent speed that will take the defense lid quickly, and is fearless in catching the ball. His routes are run with perfection and can set up the defender with various moves, nothing far better than his stiffed leg plant and head fake. He reads the defense and sits down in spots where their open areas start and stop moves. He has good, reliable, and strong hands that pluck the ball out of the air. After the catch, he is very elusive, can make a defender miss in the open field and short-area spaces. He tracks the ball ability is impeccable, and he hauls in balls incapable of being caught. 

Weaknesses: His level of competition last season was questionable of the non-elite talent at the cornerback position. He has excellent tangibles for the NFL, but how will he far against higher caliber cornerbacks. He will have the opportunity to answer those questions in Reeses's Senior Bowl coming soon. He does not show an outstanding balance after contact for his size. On another note, two red flags on film, when he is not involved in the play or run plays, he shows no effort and primarily lined up on the offense's left side. He potentially can be a draft sleeper and steal but will have to see how he does in the Senior Bowl and Pro Day.

Draft Projection: 5th - 7th Round

NFL Comparison: Deebo Samuel (San Francisco 49ers)

Player Bio: Caleb Farley attended Maiden High School in Hickory, NC. As a quarterback in his senior season, he rushed for 2,574 yards and 37 touchdowns and passed for 1,776 yards and 21 touchdowns. Both his total rushing yards and total touchdowns were school records. He also garnered another record by scoring eight touchdowns in two consecutive games. He would rush for 1,534 18 touchdowns in his junior year and passed for 1,831 yards and 20 touchdowns. Farley was the Southern District 7 Player of the Year and also named as All-State as a quarterback.

​ACCOLADES
2019 All-ACC First Team 

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.

NFL Comparison: Patrick Peterson

Player Bio: Dylan Moses attended the infamous IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL. In his senior year at IMG, Moses recorded 116 tackles (eight for a loss), and two sacks.

Strengths: He is a tough, physical, and versatile linebacker with excellent cerebral knowledge of the game. He is a fierce linebacker who strikes down the line vertically and unfazed with hitting any and everything in front of him. His versatility is uncommon as he plays all four linebacking positions and is tremendously aggressive at all positions at the point of attack. He is a tackler that finishes the play by once the hit the ball carrier is down. He is a textbook tackler with good form and drives thru the runner. He owns the inside of the field on first and second downs and defends his area well. 

Weaknesses: He suffered a severe season-ending knee injury his junior year and decided to return to play his senior year. He generally observes every play with his eyes and attacks the area where the action is involved. He will get caught into the run lanes and struggles to disengage off blocks to get to the ball. He needs to get heavier hands and shed blocks more useful for the next level, which may benefit him on the field. Offensive coordinators can use his overaggressiveness against him while pulling the guards, false motions, or play-action and throw the ball or run in the areas he just vacated. Pass coverage skills are minimal, and he will need to work on that to become a three-down linebacker at the next level.

Player Bio: Ronnie Perkins attended Luthern North High School in St Louis, MO.

2018 ESPN All-American Freshman

Strengths: He is very athletic and tremendously explosive off the ball combined with both power and speed from the edge. His strength is so impressive and unique how forceful he uses it against the blocker. He uses a strong punch with his long-span as a bull rusher driving the blocker back. He plays well against both the run and passes while on the attack. He consistently plays below the pad level maintaining excellent leverage against the run, splitting double teams. He has average bend off the edge and uses an arsenal of pass rush moves, bullrushes, dip, swim, and a club. He is an excellent fit for either 3-4 or 4-3 defenses as he can play with his hand down or as a standup.

Weaknesses: One flaw after reviewing Perkins's game film he can be undisciplined in assignments against the run. He will follow pulling linemen allowing the backside he should contain open for big runs. Despite his arsenal of rush moves, he can get quicker with his hands because he lacks a second move when defeated by the blocker. He needs to work on his bend at the next level, he tends to lean too far forward, and crafty NFL tackles will use his weakness to their advantage.

Draft Projection: 2nd - 3rd Round

NFL Comparison: ​Aldon Smith (Dallas Cowboys)

Player Bio: ​Jamie Newman prepped at Graham High School in Graham, NC, where he was the starting quarterback since his freshman year. During his senior at Graham, he assisted with his team making the state playoffs. Despite missing two games to injury, Newman completed 80 passes for 1,367 yards and 12 touchdowns. The dual-threat quarterback also rushed for 419 yards and eight touchdowns; in his junior year, he recorded 29 touchdowns as a junior after passing for 1,840 and rushing for 1,252 and nine touchdowns. Newman was the number four ranked quarterback in North Carolina, his senior, and took his talent to Wake Forest. 

Strengths: His body is the prototypical type of a quarterback at the next level. He has the height to drop back in the pocket and has excellent vision over the field. His 230-pound frames protect him from a majority of hits and prevent the risk of injury—a dual-threat quarterback who can beat a defense with his arm and legs. He has the unbelievable arm strength to make any throw on the field, with precision on the deep throws. He makes throws at the NFL level and able to zip passes in tight windows. He fits any RPO offenses with his ability to run the ball on protection break down, read-zones, or designed quarterback run plays. He generally looks for an open receiver before he will take off down the field.

Weaknesses: He tends to misread his coverages and thrown senseless interceptions not reading the safeties. He can be inconsisten at times and tries to make every throw on point. Especially on his deep ball, he does not allow the receiver to run under the ball all the defensive back able to make a play on the ball. He will rely on his arm to get him out of trouble that more times than not does. At Wake Forest, he only started one season, before transferring to Georgia. When the pandemic struck, he opted out of the season to prepare for the 2020 NFL Draft. His excellent size is attractive to most teams but his playing time was limited. Can be a steal for some teams or a project for others.

Draft Projection: 3rd - 5th Round

NFL Comparison: Cam Newton (New England Patriots)

Player Bio: Sam Cosmi attended Atascocita High School in Humble, Tx. Cosmi was a flawless offensive tackle in his senior year after recording 66 pancake blocks, 40 knockdowns, and no sacks allowed after the quarterback's 445 passing attempts. He picked up where he left off his junior year, posting 56 pancake blocks, 31 knockdowns, and only two sacks allowed on 476 pass attempts. He was named a all-state and two-time all-district honoree, named second-team 6A All-State by the Associated Press in 2016, a chosen second-team 6A Academic All-State, earned third team 6A All-State honors by the TSWA, tabbed first-team All-District 21-6A and picked first-team All-Greater Houston and selected first-team All-District 16-6A.

Strengths: He has excellent height and a long wingspan that is typical for a blindside NFL tackle. He has good mobility to get outside as a pull blocker and reach the second level for blocking. He uses power for leverage in the run, blocking blowing out the defender. His best trait is pass blocking, and he can use his length for his leverage. Combined with athleticism and length, he maintains an excellent drop step to use his length to reach speedy edge rushers. Most pass rushers will not beat him on simplistic speed; he is too wise to fall for those tricks. On counter moves, he can recover quickly to protect inside gaps. 

Weaknesses: He will benefit better at the next level bulking up with 10-15 pounds; as we can see on film, bull and power rushers can apply issues. He plays like a gentle Ben and needs to play with more aggression. He needs to work on a better anchor and not lunge out at the defender at the next level. He needs work on his hand placement, as he does not react fast enough to the rusher. Tend to get his above the pad level as crafty defenders can use that to his disadvantage.

Draft Projection: 1st (Late) - 2nd Round

NFL Comparison: Taylor Decker (Detroit Lions)

Player Bio: ​Tyler Shelving prepped at Notre Dame High School in Lafayette, LA. His illustrious career at Notre Dame earned him several honors as the Consensus number one player in Louisiana. He received honors to All-USA Louisiana First Team Defense. He received invites to Under Armour All-America Game and The Opening, a premier Nike showcase camp held in Oregon during the summer. Shelvin also played on the school's basketball team.

Strengths: He has enormous size and will be one of the biggest defensive linemen on the interior front in the 2021 NFL Draft. Bet fit for a 3-4 defensive front as he can play either the 0-tech, 1-tech, or 2-tech alignment in a 4-3 base fronts. Teams with the need for a disruptive nose tackle to eating up space in the middle will find their guy in Shelvin. He takes on several blocks, and good quickness shed them and make a play. His quick feet is surprisingly good because he generates tremendous power on the rush or tackle. His best attribute is defending against the run, with exceptional gap penetration clogging the run lanes. At the level will solidify an anchor in the middle of the defensive front, and defense will get created with inside gap blitzes.

Weaknesses: Shelvin did not play in the 2020 season as he opted out due to the pandemic virus spread. He played sparingly early in his career until the 2019 season, helping LSU win a National Championship, so he is still raw with work needed. He will no better than a two-down defender, as he has no pass rush mechanics. He needs to work on exploding off the snap as he can create more havoc at the next level. A one-trick pony trying to bull-rushing the pocket back is his only move to help the other pass rushers. Because of this, he will dip in the draft, but a need with the need of a nose tackle may take him earlier. He will get his hands above the pad level exposing himself to the interior blocks. He needs to work on his lower body strength as double-team blocks take him off his anchor and get him off-balanced. 
​
Draft Projection: 3rd - 4th Round

NFL Comparison: Brandon Williams (Baltimore Ravens)

Player Bio: ​Hamsah Nasirildeen attended Concord High School in Concord, NC. He was a star at tight end and wide receiver before converting to safety his junior year. That junior year he had 85 tackles, five interceptions, two forced fumbles and seven pass breakups on defense, and 35 receptions for 634 yards on the other side of the ball. He recorded 108 tackles and three interceptions and offense in his senior year, and the offense grabbed 45 receptions for 751 yards and five touchdowns. He would be named a consensus four-star prospect and the number one recruit in North Carolina. He received an invitation to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, where he made four tackles. He was named to the 2016 Associated Press All-State First Team and earned the 2016 All-USA North Carolina First Team honors. Nasirildeen also was an outstanding basketball player at Concord High and signed his letter of intent with FSU over South Carolina, Clemson, Michigan, and Penn St.

Strengths: He is a great and very secure tackler who makes a ton of tackles does not allow players to run through him. It is challenging for a runner to get away from him because he is so broad and strong enough to make impact tackles. He plays mostly as a deep safety, but he got plenty of opportunities in and around the scrimmage line. He built is of a linebacker where can play at the strong safety position and a colossal thumper. His versatility allows him to lineup all over the defense. He has good range and is athletic and able to hunt the ball and make tackles. His size allows him to shed blocks and get to the backfield and usually stops the runner in his track. He has good tracking ability and suitable as a blitzing safety. He can play man coverages and has enough speed to run with the backs and receivers. He is a dynamic competitor who makes plays and creates turnovers with powerful hits. With his size, speed and athleticism, he may be recommended to gain ten pounds and converted into a hybrid linebacker. 
​
​Weaknesses: He suffered a severe knee injury his junior year that may cause some mobility issues. He tends to make bad reads and have bad angles to the ball. He needs to involve his hands more when engaging with blockers and not allowing them into his torso. He tries to show ball-hawking skills but allows big plays in the secondary.

NFL Comparison: Isaiah Simmons (Arizona Cardinals)

Player Bio: Charles Snowden attended St. Albans School in Silver Spring, MD. At St. Albans, he played linebacker and wide receiver, and his senior year on defense, he made 35 tackles and 5½ sacks, forced two fumbles, and recovered two fumbles. He garnered All-IAC First Team, All-DCIAA First Team, and USA Today Washington, DC First Team. ESPN.com, Rivals.com, 247Sports.com, and Scout.com all had Snowden rated as a three-star player.

Strengths: He is a very athletic and fluid edge rusher, and to add a substantial frame. His towering six-foot-seven-inch frame is unheard of for an edge rusher who can rush and allows him to a competitive edge from the outside. He uses his wingspan to control his leverage and free himself from the blocker. He is very mobile and able to shut down the outside run. He has a tremendous tackle radius and makes tackles with much range. He can reach out and wrap up the runner in unexpected areas on the field to make the tackle. Rushing the passer, he uses an arsenal of moves to get to the quarterback with powerful moves. He imposes problems with his long frame as passing lanes and windows are affected by his long arms. When he drops off into coverage, he chews up much ground with his length. He can alter the pass or tips and knock down passes with his arms and hands.
​
Weaknesses: His tall frame comes with the price of a small lower body that is not very powerful. When engaged with a more powerful blocker, they easily can manipulate him one-on-one pressure. He does not pursue well in traffic and will get knocked off his route. To build up speed to pursue his long strides, take a moment to get going, killing his chances at short burst plays. He also makes bad angles to the ball and does not recover well.

Strengths: He is an excellent cerebral player who rarely makes a mistake at his position, tremendously gifted, and a very physical player who enjoys laying the wood. He is an excellent tackler who generally does not miss once in range and terminates any progress. He is a very talented linebacker who plays excellent against the run and rarely caught out of alignment comes downhill like a missile and explodes through the runner. Possess great speed and generally is around the ball first. He plays well against the run and the pass, which allows him to be a true three-down linebacker. He has good range, can go sideline-to-sideline with relative ease while in pursuit with excellent angles to the ball. He is very crafty, maintains great discipline against the run, and lights out as a blitzer. As a pass defender can play both man and zone defense but is very aggressive in the zone. He will not make it easy for the receivers to make the catch as he makes plays breaking up passes in the receiver's hands. An excellent fit for most 3-4 schemes and many sub-packages.

Weaknesses: His arms is a bit short in length that may limit his tackling radius at the next level despite making many tackles. He shows lower body tightness that tends to have him striving to reroute his pursuit to the ball. He is often disadvantaged when he has to cover the backs out the backfield when redirecting his hips. Stiffness also shows up, causing him to rearrange himself in zone coverages and late close on the ball.

Draft Projection: 2nd Round

NFL Comparison: Devin Bush Jr

Player Bio: Dayo Odenyingbo prepped at Carrollton Ranchview High School in Carrollton, TX, a suburb outside Dallas, TX. He played both offense and defense as he excelled on the defensive line. He recorded 47 tackles (20 for loss), seven sacks, and three forced fumbles in his senior season. He was named All-Area in his junior and senior years. Dayo participated in track running the high hurdles and discus and javelin thrower. Odenyingbo was born to Nigerian descent parents who move to New York, where Dayo was born.
​
ACCOLADES
2020 All-SEC Second Team

Strengths: He is an EDGE rusher who combines with both length and explosiveness off the line. It is astonishing how long his wingspan, solid frame, and superb athleticism are on the attack. He is a versatile defender who can lineup all over the defensive front with his hand on the ground. He played at the one-tech and three-tech position and just was disruptive than at the EDGE position, even at the 0-tech position. He keeps a high motor at all times with tremendous energy. He set the EDGE well with his length and is good with disengaging with the blocker and making pursuit to the ball. He uses his length again as a pass rusher with a powerful grip for leverage and power to beat the blocker. He has an ok bend and arc and is very flexible to get around the corner without deaccelerating.
​
Weaknesses: He needs to get better and more consistent with his counter moves to his arsenal. The spin move that he uses is ineffective on the rush, and if he allows the lineman to get to his torso, he will struggle to disengage from the blocks. 

Draft Projection: 4th Round - 6th Round

Player Bio: Najee Harris prepped at Antioch High School in Antioch, CA, as he was the overall prep prospect of all primary schools.

Strengths: He has a massive frame and the prototype of a prominent NFL running back. A mighty and explosive runner with good speed that can get outside the edge of the defense. He has an excellent vision that allows him to follow his blocks while running through the open run lanes. A patience back that reads his blocks and waits for the blocks to develop before exploding through the free run gaps. He has a north to south run style but will get east to west in a heartbeat before redirecting himself back on route. To add to his craft, he is a powerful runner that will run through attempted arm tackles or set up the tackler with a  deadly spin move. His combination of speed and power creates his skill level of an every-down back. He is a very productive receiver out of the backfield with great hands and runs decent routes. A total mismatch isolated against a linebacker one-on-one as a receiver. He has excellent awareness as a pass blocker and knows when to release out the backfield for a pass.​ These skills gives him an competitive edge over any other running back in this 2021 NFL Draft.

Weaknesses: He lacks the breakaway speed from defenders that limit his big-play ability, and he doesn't have that long speed to take it the distance. He has an upright run style similar to Eric Dickerson, which allows the defenders to get free hits on his torso. Play to high above the pad level, and it will be imperative that he develop more knee bend in his run style. Not a shifty back and limited elusiveness that requires him to spin moves that will get him in trouble at the next level. Stout defenses that defend the run will limit his run average despite his 6.1 yards average at Alabama. He needs to enhance his pass protection ability and be required at the next level to stay in for added pass protection.

Strengths: He has adequate size to play the tackle position at the next level with a compact frame—an excellent cerebral player who has excellent recognition of the game on the field. Slightly underweight, but he has the strength to make up the mass by keeping an excellent broad base for leverage. A tremendous run blocker who mauls the defender to make run lanes from the gap he is opening up—sturdy lower body, powerful legs that he continuously drives after engaging with the rusher. As a pass protector, he uses refined techniques against the speedy edge rusher, and ability to reach him on the arc, and uses a good anchor. He can recognize blitz or stunts at the line of scrimmage and change the blocking schemes pre-snap.

​Weaknesses: His 2020 season was interrupted by the pandemic virus's spread, limiting him to play on one game. Once football resumed, he opted out to prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft. On film, the level of competition will not translate to the Power 5 conferences on talent. He dominates everyone at his level as a run blocker; however, when he needs to get to the second level of defenders, he will struggle to get there. As a pass blocker, his base and feet are excellent; however, he tends to lunge toward the defender that will have him unbalanced at the point of contact. He needs to work on better hand placement too wide, putting him in situations with holding calls.

McVay is coming off a game where he outcoached Bill Belichick by Belichick's admission. Adam Gase is 0-13 this season and headed for the unemployment line.
