NFL Comparison
Levi Wallace
Overview
Long, lanky press corner who plays with good control, an ability to stay connected to routes and above-average ball skills. Bunting is a bail or trail corner who is more adept at shadowing the release than road-blocking it with physicality due to a leaner frame. He's confident in coverage and doesn't play with panic, but has to prove his top-end speed. He's proven his worth on 50-50 balls, but may fall below NFL standards with closing twitch and instincts. He's a solid Day 3 prospect with CB4 potential.

"He doesn't look like he runs very fast, but I see him testing well with the drills you would look at for cover corners. He's probably Day 3 but I bet he ends up playing." - NFC Executive
