Cornerbacks in IDP can be very finicky. Most gravitate towards using rookies or young players as they are the ones that get picked on by opposing offenses. There is certainly nothing wrong with that strategy. Yet what follows is not a list of top CB prospects. You will find neither Gareon Conley or his Ohio State teammate Marshon Lattimore contained within. Both are so-called the “big names” of…

Bradley Ylitalo with another IDP Player Interview: CB Malcolm Jenkins, Bethany College

Malcolm Jenkins is a cornerback out of Bethany College who is now trying to accomplish his dream of playing in the NFL. Mr. Jenkins is a very likable guy and I think you’ll get the same vibe from reading his answers to my questions.

Which cornerbacks should @Seahawks target in next week's #NFLDraft? @pacificscouting has a list.

Year after year Seattle Seahawks fans are reminded of the style and thresholds that John Schneider and Pete Carroll look for in corners. Since there isn’t anything on the world wide web leading up to the 2017 draft here is your yearly reminder.

The Seahawks have only drafted 6 total corners since Pete and John took the team over in 2010. Those corners are Walter Thurmond (‘10), Richard Sherman…

Player Interview: S Rick Orio, Husson University

Rick Orio is a small school safety who was paramount to a defense that led the NCAA in 5 categories during the 2016 season. Now he’s done with his college career and is looking at a career in the CFL for the time being. He looks to have a career path similar to Jerrell Freeman, the Chicago Bears linebacker who played Division III football at Mary Hardin-Baylor and went on to become a star in the…

IDP Draft Profile: S Justin Evans, Texas A&M

Justin “The Eraser” Evans – Senior / 6’0″ / 199 – Texas A&M

Games Watched: 2016 – Alabama, LSU, UCLA. 2015 – Alabama, Arizona State, Ole Miss, South Carolina

Skinny:He is a little small to play in-the-box at the NFL level. He often tackles too high (or above the belt). This allows the ball carrier to gain extra yardage. He needs to realize to stop someone dead in their tracks he needs to hit them…
