I doubt we look at a guy this small, but that would be a mistake. Size of the fight in the dog...

Amik RobertsonCB, Louisiana Tech

Amik Robertson is 5-foot-8, 187 pounds and about 50 bulldogs worth of fight. He is arguably the best film watch in 2019. Robertson plays with his body on the line in run support, as a tackler in the short areas and even when he’s on the line as a press coverage defender. Now, that uber-aggressive style only works if a player has great eyes and quality anticipation; Robertson’s there. He jumps basic concepts, understands what down/distance is telling him about route depth and distribution and has the ball production to prove it.
From a physical tools perspective, Robertson clears the floor like a starting nickel. He’s wicked quick, has good explosiveness from flat-food techniques and a T-step out of his pedal. Robertson doesn’t necessarily have the greatest long speed to carry vertical routes, so being protected by slot play and capped safeties help him there.
Robertson should concern teams who see a lot of flexed tight ends or big slots, as he isn’t a candidate to handle anyone but the average-sized slot receivers of more traditional West Coast teams. But, if a team is certain it can get him on top of receivers who won’t be able to big-boy him with size, he’ll handle the slot machines of the league with confidence.

A name for 2021. The dude stood out vs Georgia. Was the best player on the field and it wasn't close.

Pro Football Focus credited South Carolina junior DB Israel Mukuamu with just 19 receptions allowed in 286 snaps versus SEC competition. The SEC was absolutely loaded with star WRs in 2019, so Mukuamu (6'4/198) being able to hold his own so effectively is quite the feat. At 19 receptions versus SEC competition, Mukuamu allowed roughly just two receptions per game, 13 of which were fewer than nine yards down the field. Mukuamu also recorded a three-interception game on the road against Georgia last season, one of which he returned for an INT. With another strong year, Mukuamu has a real shot at being the top CB in the 2021 draft class.

Here's how the 2020 CB prospects performed in coverage last year per
@PFF. CBs in the bottom left did the best.

It's worth noting that C.J. Henderson was much better in 2018 (50% completions, 6.9 YPT).

8 3/8" hands?

Can he palm a cue ball? Everything else is really good. Day 3 is what I see in the Sims.

Since I posted about him in my last mock draft I am going to claim I liked him before he was cool  ;)

But I really think with some good coaching, Robinson has everything you need in an outside corner. Very underrated prospect with a high ceiling.

This is good data but I feel like it needs to incorporate attempted targets. But I like that is pumps up my guy Jaylon Johnson.

Great chart, thanks for posting.   Certainly Makes me pause though when looking at Henderson and Terrell’s data points.

That's an impressive if not dubious improvement.

Georgia safety J.R. Reed, son of former #Vikings star receiver Jake Reed, said he has talked to the Vikings during the draft process, including a phone interview with director of scouting Jamaal Stephenson. He also had an interview with the Vikings at the combine.

Damned impressive. So why did he puke up a 4.64 at the combine?

Someone mentioned that he looked at his 40 from the Combine and said it appeared he had no clue as to how to run a 40. The start could make a difference, but that much?

Arif Hasan, but inside

Oklahoma State CB A.J. Green has held pre-draft discussions recently with the #Ravens & #Vikings.

Some wise mfer has mocked this guy to the Vikings several times.
