CORNERBACKS

Travis Hunter CB/WR Colorado

We all know how talented Travis is and how well he can play multiple positions on both sides of the ball. But what makes him different from other players with the same physical talents? I'll tell you because I'm the only one you can. It's his football intelligence and situational understanding of down and distance. Add to that, Travis's innate instincts, problem-solving intelligence, and camouflage ability of an eight-limbed octopus. Travis is a competitive junky. The only thing that will confuse any team about Travis is what side of the ball he wants to become an impact player on because his body will not take the pounding of playing both sides. If Travis can get through his first contract without many injuries, he should be able to break the bank on his next contract. That being said if he insists on playing both sides of the ball his impact will be less on both sides and the injury factor will increase.

Will Johnson   CB   Michigan          

Will is an aggressive defensive back with excellent size, strength, and speed along with a high football IQ that makes him very dangerous. Will has the unique talent for reading body language. He recognizes, on the snap, who will be blocking him and that allows him to jump the block and make tackles behind the line of scrimmage. He also reads the receiver when lining up, and knows if the ball is going to go to his side. This makes it easy to bait QB’s into throwing the ball and allows him to jump routes to make a play on the ball. He will get beat deep because of his aggressiveness against double moves and by receivers who are just as smart and just as sneaky as he is at the next level. That being said, because of Will's athletic talent, size, and speed and his high football IQ, he will adjust, to become one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL for the team that selects him. He can play in any style of defensive back system, and position, because he is one of the smartest Defensive Backs coming out, I have seen in a long time.
