Some NFL teams may consider Oregon S Jevon Holland at either corner or nickel, in the opinion of Pro Football Network draft analyst Tony Pauline. Listed at 6-feet, 207 pounds, Holland was considered by some to be the top safety in this draft class. But there are questions about his potential fit at the next level, due in large part to his size. As a result, it's possible that some tams will look to see if Holland can be used either at cornerback or nickel corner. "Holland is a good athlete and a developing safety who would’ve benefited from another season on the field in 2020," Pauline wrote. "His ball skills and coverage ability are such that teams may consider him at cornerback or nickel back. Holland comes with a large upside but needs time to develop his game." Holland's versatility is a major selling point when it comes to his draft prospects, and he's right there with the likes of Trevon Moehring and Richie Grant in the race to be the first safety selected.
South Carolina CB Jaycee Horn led the nation with a 26.7 percent reception rate in man-to-man coverage. Horn (6'0/205) has really seen his stock rise this offseason, as the Gamecocks' shut down corner has the size, coverage chops, tape and measurables that NFL teams covet from their top CB. He ran a blazing 4.39 40-yard dash at his pro day, which eclipsed consensus CB1 Patrick Surtain's 4.46. In addition to his impressive 40 time, Horn also recorded a 41.5-inch vertical jump, 19 reps in the bench press and a broad jump (133 inches) that was two inches longer than Surtain's. With Caleb Fairley sustaining an injury in training, Horn is likely to be the second corner taken in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Percentage of career coverage snaps in press coverage, per @PFF:
Patrick Surtain II — 63% (921 Total)
Jaycee Horn — 45% (410)
Asante Samuel Jr. — 29% (267)
Caleb Farley — 26% (184)
Greg Newsome II — 24% (154)
TCU safety Trevon Moehrig didn’t get to do shuttles at his Pro Day because of a strained back.
He timed those today at @TeamEXOS.
6.69: 3-cone
3.97: Short (20 yard) shuttle
