Jeremy Lucien
Vanderbilt Commodores

One-Liner:

A shifty corner with great awareness and very strong in zone coverage but lacks aggressiveness.

Evaluation: 

A gritty, fundamentally sound cover man who possesses great length, smooth backpedal and crisp change of direction ability. Often tasked with covering the top receiver, Lucien has lined up on both side of the field, outside, inside and has some special teams experience on kick/punt units. Does a nice job dissecting the play in zone and displays sound awareness, as to when to come off a defender or when to switch. At times, he needs to get his head turned around quicker and be alert of when the ball is released. While not an aggressive type of corner, he is more than willing to be physical when needed and make a tackle. His one-on-one coverage skills is his most appealing attribute. Lucien enters his third season as a starter in 2021 and has matured with film room responsibilities. This is one player worth monitoring who could rise up draft boards by time the 2023 NFL Draft rolls around.

Grade:

5th Round
