Agree Porter is going to go higher than many think. Consensus has him in the 3rd. He's a little overaged at 24. That should keep him out of the top 50, but 6-3, 200, 4.31 forty and 33 inch arms is not something teams will pass on for very long.
Which player are you hearing is having a late surge up teams' boards?
Reid: Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State. At 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, Porter is a long zone corner who also had a standout performance at the combine. His 4.3-second 40-yard dash and 10-foot-11 broad jump matched the athletic traits we see on his tape. The main knock against Porter is he has only two seasons of defensive experience, as he played wide receiver for the Cyclones prior to the 2022 season. But that also means his upside is immense, and teams specializing in zone coverage likely have him circled as an early-to-mid Day 2 target.
What's also helping Porter is the number of injuries facing this year's corner class. Porter was one of the few top prospects who managed to stay healthy throughout the season and predraft process, allowing him to play in the national spotlight at the Senior Bowl.
