Nehemiah Pritchett
Auburn Tigers

One-Liner:

A disruptive corner that can is a pain in short areas of the field.

Evaluation:

Lengthy but stringy physique. Tons of press alignments both to the field and boundary. An easy mover that can play tight man coverage. Makes plays on the ball when covering underneath routes. Plays the pocket timely, interrupting the receiver's hands and forcing tipped interceptions. Will lose to ball winners. Potentially struggling at the catch point. Overall lack of functional strength shows up in the run game as well. Too easily blocked by wideouts, even finished at times. May lack awareness and or overall FBI. Pritchett is a pesky corner that aligns in tight spacings, daring wideouts to win deep. He presented a mix of vertical and underneath coverage ability that staunched many of the SEC’s receivers. His length and agility will make him a considerable prospect as we approach the draft.

Grade:

3rd Round
