Mansoor Delane, LSU | Pro Comp: Byron Murphy

Dominates in multiple defensive schemes; zone, press/off man, blitzing. Elite instincts when jumping on a route. Good mirroring ability when reading routes. Attacks the ball, usually without committing a penalty. Plays at a more physical level than his size indicates.

Average top-end speed, can be beat deep by explosive receivers. Mildly undersized arms. Does not close at a great rate coming out his backpedal. Not the most effective in run defense, partially due to measurables.

Jermod McCoy, Tennessee | Pro Comp: Greg Newsome II

Incredible on an island; press and off man demon. Great instincts and burst when jumping routes, ridiculous athletic ability helps. Can stick with any receiver downfield, has incredible speed. Elite tackler, rarely misses and is a huge help in run support. 

Not the greatest recognition skills in terms of finding the ball; comes up empty-handed on textbook interception plays. Could be more physical at the line of scrimmage, outside of press man. ACL tear in 2024 could spell issues down the line.

Chris Johnson, San Diego State | Pro Comp: Trent McDuffie

Elite in zone, outside coverage. Impressive route and ball instincts; knows when ball is arriving, and knows when to play on it to force incompletion. Excellent route recognition. Good enough athleticism to perform well in press-man, though little tape of it. Efficient tackler, good run supporter.

Slightly undersized arms, similar to Delane. Questions surrounding competition level at San Diego State, though had a great showing at the Senior Bowl, and performed when tasked with covering out-of-conference players.
