Can Kindle Vildor Read a Quarterback's Eyes?

Kindle Vildor was the Bears second of three fifth round draft picks. A 5'10" corner out of Georgia Southern, you may be shocked to learn that I knew very little about him before his selection. Still, he has a very intriguing athletic profile.

Only 5'10" but very long arms and big hands. He ran 4.44 40-yard dash and showed incredible strength and explosiveness with his bench press and vertical and broad jumps. Those are all very positive, but it also appears as if he does not have any ability to change directions as shown by his 3-cone and short shuttle.

Statistically, nothing stands out as he managed nine interceptions over his three years as a starter. Not bad, but nothing special. So it was time to check out his game against LSU to get a better idea of him as a prospect.

On the negative side, he gets beat fairly easily on this touchdown catch.
From his reaction, he may have thought he had help over the middle of the field, but it may have just been that his team was going down 42-3, and it wasn't yet halftime.

Um, and that was really about it. That's actually good news. LSU just didn't try to attack him. He did get a pass interference call against him when he got a tad overzealous near the end zone, but that wasn't too worrisome. When it came down to LSU attacking, they looked at other places rather than going at Vildor which is about as good of a compliment as a guy can get.

Overall, I think there are some interesting athletic traits that he showed at the combine, but for a shorter corner, his lack of agility in changing directions will likely be a major hindrance to his success and is probably the big reason that he was available in the fifth round.

Trevon Diggs - 2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report

Trevon Diggs seems too good to be true. He was a starting cornerback at Alabama with great size, athleticism, and proven genetics as you may have heard of his older brother, Stefon. Yet, somehow, he is getting very little buzz as a first round draft prospect. It seems like most experts are not buying in so I wanted to check him out to see if there was a fatal flaw or if this could be a steal to help the Bears solidify their secondary. I decided to be tough on him and watch his game against LSU to see how he would do against multiple first round picks.

He didn’t do any drills at the combine but measured in at 6’1” and 205 pounds with very good length. With that size, he will be able to hang with any receiver.

Here, Diggs is paired up against Ja’Marr Chase, and Chase is really, really good. This makes Diggs looks really, really bad.
That is such a tough route and throw for a cornerback to adjust on, and Burrow and Chase made that touchdown look way too easy. Diggs completely lost track of Chase as he tried to adjust to the ball, and then it’s just an easy walk in the end zone.

One thing Diggs showed repeatedly is remaining physical with receivers.
He is on the tight end, Thaddeus Moss, and he is hand fighting with him the whole way. Moss breaks towards the sideline, and Burrow throws it about as perfect as it can be, but Diggs leaves absolutely no space for a completion, and although it was originally called a catch, it was overturned as Moss was forced to step out of bounds before completing the catch. That physicality showed up in his tackling as well as he did a good job of attacking the hip and wrapping the legs no matter if it was receiver, tight end, or running back.

There aren’t a ton of highlights from this game, but he hung with Ja’Marr Chase, who, if he was eligible would be the first receiver taken in this upcoming draft. Alabama trusted him to cover Chase on an island for a lot of this game and he got beat at times, but it wasn’t a slaughter by any means. It’s tough to judge a corner on a single game, especially against an elite receiver, but overall, I would feel good about the Bears taking a chance on Diggs. If Saban trusts him to cover an elite pass catcher by himself, that’s a pretty good indication of a man’s talent level. I’m not in love, but I dig Trevon.

Amik Robertson - 2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report

At this point in the scouting process, I’m ignoring the big-time prospects and looking for those guys that are considered very good as opposed to great prospects. A lot of people ask whether it is better to take the best player available or draft for need, but that dichotomy doesn’t really work. What you have to do is take the most impactful player for your team. Arizona may think Tua Tagavailoa is the best player available when they pick, but he isn’t all that valuable to them when they already have Kyler Murray so it is figuring out a combination of the two. The Bears are actually in a good spot as their needs aren’t that sexy. Safeties aren’t sexy. Interior linemen certainly aren’t sexy. Tight ends aren’t sexy, because somehow they have 10 of them but also zero reliable ones. Wide receiver is sexy, but this class is so loaded with them that there is plenty of talent to be found. Cornerback is the big issue as that is a sexy position, and the top guys are going to be off the board before the Bears have their first pick. So you have to look at a flawed prospect. I’m going to take a look at two flawed cornerback prospects, starting with Amik Robertson.

Amik has two major flaws to start out with. The first is that he played at Louisiana Tech so he didn’t consistently play against top level competition. The second is that he is only 5’8”, and even in a world with some smaller cornerbacks, he stands out above the rest as that height puts him in the 1% of height for cornerback prospects.

But any long-time reader knows that as a perfectly-average 5’9”, I will always go to bat for my short brothers, so I took a look at his game against Texas to see what he could do against high level competition.

It’s not like size is nothing as Robertson does have limitations due to his small stature.
He is going to struggle to get off blocks against bigger receivers, and even if he polishes up his technique, it’s never going to be a strength.

Even though he’s small, Robertson will not go down without a fight.
The Texas receiver is able to get his hand on the ball, but Robertson is right with him and continues to fight with his hands until the very end of the play.

Seriously, this dude is not going to back down.
Robertson annihilates the receiver on the line of scrimmage and doesn’t let him go anywhere, and he nearly gets an interception because the receiver is so out of place for the pass. Oh, and the reason that receiver seems so much larger is because he’s 6’6” and 245 pounds. Apparently, that still isn’t big enough to fight off the line of scrimmage against Robertson.

Robertson excels in his ball skills as he shows on the two plays below.

On the first pass, he does an incredible job of breaking in front of the receiver and diving to just barely get his fingertips on the ball to break it up. On the second pass, he just straight up outjumps the much larger receiver and high points the ball to almost make the interception. Even though he didn’t make the catch, this is a guy who had 14 interceptions in three years so he is someone who knows how to make big plays and has better catching technique than KJ Hamler.

Robertson has me torn. There are so many things that I like in that he has excellent ball skills, he’s feisty, and he makes big plays. At the same time, that size is an issue, even from someone who almost always gives short guys the benefit of the doubt. In coverage, I think he will be good to great in the slot. At the same time, he might be a liability against the run if he’s lining up in the box. Ultimately, I think that where the Bears currently have picks in the second round, it’s a little too rich for my blood for Robertson. He’s been proving people wrong for three years in college, so I will not be surprised if this proclamation makes me look like an idiot in a few years, and as a fellow average-heighted guy, I’ll be rooting for him to do that.

Michael Ojemudia - 2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report

Michael Ojemudia had an interesting career at Iowa. It seemed as if Iowa fans always had a cornerback they liked more than Ojemudia to take the starting job until his senior season where he was clearly the man on the outside. He became a starter his sophomore year and although there were some shifts and shake-ups, by the end of the year, he would always find his way to the top. Finally, in his senior year, he became the guy teams did not want to throw to as he did an excellent job of shutting down his side of the field. I took a look at his games against USC, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

To start off, let’s take a look at Ojemudia’s combine performance to get an idea of his athleticism.

What you see here is good, not great, but for an Iowa player, that is a huge victory as the Iowa Hawkeyes are never known for their athletic prowess. He’s got great size, good speed, and below average agility.

What you’re going to see with Ojemudia is very good instincts. 
On this play, the USC quarterback’s throw behind the receiver makes Ojemudia look a tad later than he actually was as he had an angle on where the ball would have led the receiver as opposed to being behind the receiver. Even if the receiver makes the catch, Ojemudia is right there to stop him from getting a first down.

I think the biggest thing from the USC game is the stat sheet. He was primarily put up against Michael Pittman Jr., who is a likely day two pick who had over 100 catches and 1200 yards on the season including 37 catches, 430 yards and three touchdowns in the three previous games. Against Iowa, he was held to six receptions and 53 yards, zero touchdowns. Even with that meager stat line, 17 of those yards came on a catch over the middle where Ojemudia had passed him off to a teammate in zone coverage.

He is a very willing tackler.
Sure, I’d like to see him wrap up on that one, but sometimes just laying the hammer down is good enough.

Ojemudia’s biggest knock is just giving too much cushion to receivers.
The Michigan passing game is not big on deep threats, so you’d like to see him play that a little bit tighter, but as someone who has watched every snap of the last 20 years of Iowa football, that is how Iowa designs their coverages a lot of times so it’s tough to fault him too much for situations like this.

It was painful for me to watch, and that’s why I am not including any clips of the Wisconsin game where Ojemudia really struggled. He failed to contain the edge on an end around, got beat deep, and was exploited for some first downs when he gave too much cushion. 

With the athletic profile, he is going to be a scheme player. If you put him in man-to-man coverage consistently, he could struggle as he does not have great change-of-direction skills. But in a zone scheme, he’s big, strong and has very good instincts breaking on the ball so he has potential to be a starter. With that skill-set, there is also the potential that he moves to free safety which has been a common move for many former Iowa cornerbacks and has proved fairly successful. 

Still, the lack of agility does show up on the game film, and I think it will be a major hindrance for him in the pros. I think he’s likely to be a day three pick who is going to have to make an impact on special teams early on but could turn into a starter down the line. The floor is high, the ceiling is low, but considering the progress he’s made throughout his college career, I wouldn’t count him out from continuing to improve.

XFAlpha Podcast Notes - Episode 12

Jonah and I talk bowl games as well as the continued dominance of my Chicago Bears over his Minnesota Vikings. He claims the Week 17 loss should not be blamed on Kirk Cousins, because of some lame excuse about Cousins not playing in the game, but that's just another excuse. It might be time to call Jonah, "Incest," because it seems like he loves his Cousins a little too much.

After that, we get into cornerbacks where you can hear some top notch analysis right below and some written notes below that.

CORNERBACK

  1. Houston Roughnecks
    1. Deji Olatoye - Product of North Carolina A+T. Despite being a small school player, he managed to hang around NFL rosters from 2014-2017, playing in 15 games total. He might only be the second best athlete in the family as his sister is a record-setting weight thrower. The weights kind of look like kettlebells. I’ve tried kettlebells and had terrible form, so therefore I think kettlebells are stupid and if I’m going to do a dumbass workout, it might as well be wrestling or jiu jitsu. 
    2. Robert Nelson - Played at Louisiana Monroe before transferring to Arizona State where he became a first-team All-Pac 12 selection in 2013. That was still not enough to get him drafted, but he did manage to play half of the games for the Cleveland Browns after signing with them as an undrafted free agent. He remained on the fringes of NFL rosters, getting some special teams play here and there. He’s had enough of a shot to show what he can do, and teams just haven’t trusted in him so it’s hard for me to see him making an impact in the XFL either. 
    3. Brendan Langley - Played for Lamar in college but was impressive enough to get an invite to the Senior Bowl and the combine. He was a third round pick by the Broncos in 2017. The next year they tried to turn him into a wide receiver, and then they cut him. Weird story, but maybe switching back to corner will help unlock his potential, especially since corners usually take some time to develop at the pro level, so he’s still likely getting better and with his background, he could be the top shutdown cornerback in the entire league. 
    4. Deatrick Nichols - Three-year starter at South Florida where he had 11 interceptions. He played two games for the Cardinals last year but couldn’t catch on with a team this season. Good amount of experience and still young enough to be an intriguing player for the Roughnecks. 
    5. Justin Martin - Tennessee Volunteer cornerback. 
    6. Jeremiah Johnson - Concord Cornerback who was First-Team All-MEC all four years in college. You don’t just go into the Mountain East Conference and get those sort of accolades without earning them. On Twitter, his pinned tweet simply says Humble Beast. 
    7. David Simmons - North Park University cornerback. That’s in Chicago.
    8. Saivion Smith - Even though he was a five-star prospect, he had to take the Juco route early on to keep playing football. Then he transferred to Alabama but left last year after only one season to turn pro early. He had a strong year in his single season with three picks, but he shat the bed during the combine and went undrafted. He then did not make a roster, but considering he was good enough to start for Alabama who is at least in the top three of churning out defensive backs along with Ohio State and LSU, this is definitely an intriguing player who I’m excited to see step up and take on pro level talent. 
  2. St. Louis Battlehawks
    1. D’Montre Wade - Murray State corner who had six interceptions his senior year in 2017. 
    2. Marquez White - Florida State corner who became a sixth round pick by the Cowboys. Was charged with a felony for flashing a gun, but the guy was yelling racial slurs so it seems justified.
    3. Trovon Reed - Auburn grad that didn’t play corner until his senior year there. He only played in 9 college games at corner, but he managed three interceptions. He only played in six NFL games but had two interceptions for the Chargers in 2016, and then somehow never made it back. Is this man the greatest ballhawk in history? He’s a guaranteed interception every three games. 
    4. Trey Caldwell - Louisiana-Monroe product that was selected in the fifth round by the Browns where he managed to play in one game. He’s only 5’9” but it’s never wise to overlook short guys, or, more appropriately, perfectly average height guys. 
    5. Ryan White - Not the famous AIDS kid, nor is he a hockey player. Instead, he is another Auburn defensive back. 
    6. Clifton Duck - After starting for three years with 12 interceptions, he became the first player in App State history to leave early for the NFL Draft. It has not worked out for him so far. The heightists in the NFL didn’t like a guy who was only 5’9”, but he’s still young, he was tremendously productive in college, and he could have been more productive but teams stopped throwing his way his junior year. If he gets a chance to show what he can do on the field, I am pretty damn positive he’s going to impress some folks. 
    7. Charles James - Another 5’9” cornerback, played in college at Charleston Southern and played four seasons in the NFL, but hasn’t been in the league since 2016. 
  3. DC Defenders
    1. Elijah Campbell - Northern Iowa cornerback who had eight interceptions in his two years there. He also just received his master’s degree.
    2. Desmond Lawrence - Cornerback out of North Carolina, but I’m not sure if he’s going to come on and raise up, take his shirt off, twist it around his hand and spin it like a helicopter. 
    3. Jalen Myrick - Minnesota corner that runs a 4.28 40. All of his change of direction drills were subpar, but man is he fast, it’s a good thing you don’t need to change directions quickly as a cornerback. Oh wait. He did get drafted in the seventh round and did play some special teams with the Jaguars in 2017, but that’s all I see him doing, even in the XFL. 
    4. Doran Grant - He started two years for Ohio State which was good enough to get him drafted in the fourth round by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2015. He managed to play in three games in his rookie season but has not seen time since. He was pretty damn good in college, has good athleticism, but never made it onto the field in the pros. I usually steer clear of the older guys who haven’t been around the NFL recently, but my Big Ten bias has me intrigued with Grant. 
    5. Bradley Sylve - Alabama cornerback, and although he never started, he was able to make the Saints practice squad his rookie season. He’s coming off a torn achilles, and he might just need a chance to get on the field to show what he can do. 
    6. Reggie Cole - National Champion at Mary Hardin-Baylor.
    7. Ladarius Gunter - Miami cornerback who makes a strong case of being the least athletic corner to ever go to the NFL Combine. Despite that, he still made the Packers active roster as an undrafted free agent and played two seasons with them before playing a handful of games with the Panthers in 2017. Not a great athlete but to stick around that long, it’s clear the guy is a football player, so I think he could be a really good player for the Defenders. 
    8. Deion Harris - Undrafted free agent out of North Dakota this year. 
    9. Kamrin Moore - Boston College corner that was a sixth round pick by the Saints that played a couple games for the Giants last year but was accused of domestic violence. The charges have since been dropped so this is his chance to show he deserves another chance in the league. I usually try to steer clear of these, but his story seems fairly solid on this one, so I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt while always keeping a tinge of doubt just in case I am proven wrong. Pretty strong tweet with, The internet isn't weird, y'all are. It just gave you a platform to continuously expose yourselves.
  4. Tampa Vipers
    1. Jalen Collins - TRADED FOR ARRION SPRINGS -  Left LSU after his junior year where he became a second round pick by the Falcons in 2015. He became a part-time starter his rookie season despite Atlanta having two strong corners in Robert Alford and Desmond Trufant. He was suspended four games for PEDs, then 10 games for PEDs, then four games for unspecified reasons, then ten more games again. He tried to catch on with the Colts last season but couldn’t get beyond the practice squad. The raw tools are there, and I do love my PED guys, but my hopes in Collins are dwindling. Still has an incredibly high ceiling, but due to suspensions, he’s barely played football the last three years so there is a lot working against him. 
    2. Picasso Nelson - Played at Southern Miss, signed to the Colts practice squad recently so very close to the NFL and may not be showing up this year in the XFL. His Dad played briefly in the NFL.
    3. Demontre Hurst - Oklahoma cornerback who managed to play in 32 games his first three years in the league, but has not played in an NFL game since 2016 so it’s tough to get too excited about him.
    4. Jude Adjei-Barimah - After a career at Bowling Green, he signed with the Buccaneers and played 23 games his first two years, but then he got suspended for performance enhancing drugs and has not been on an active roster since 2016. 
    5. Lashard Durr - Mississippi State Bulldog who was not good enough to start in college.
    6. Herb Waters - Wide receiver at the U who didn’t play corner until late in training camp for the Packers when they had a litany of injuries. He made it to the active roster in 2016, but has not been able to repeat that feat since. His lack of experience makes him slightly more intriguing, but since he hasn’t caught on yet, I can’t say that I have a ton of faith in him making an impact this year. 
    7. Bryce Canady - Walked on at Florida International where he started for them in 2017. 
    8. Davante Davis - 6’2” Cornerback for the Texas Longhorns who was good enough to get invited to the combine where he showed impressive athleticism, especially for a guy of his size. I would say this guy has a good amount of potential and is definitely someone to keep an eye on this season.
    9. Shelton Lewis - Florida Atlantic corner who is fresh out of school and put up decent numbers in college.
    10. Malik Warner - Wagner Seahawk. 
  5. New York Guardians
    1. Jamar Summers - Cornerback out of UConn who did have eight interceptions his sophomore year to become all-conference but hasn’t been able to make it in the NFL. Still, the ball skills are intriguing. 
    2. Lorenzo Doss - Corner out of Tulane who had an awesome sophomore year where he had seven interceptions and two touchdowns. He left school after the following season and became a fifth round pick by the Denver Broncos and promptly won a Super Bowl. He was released late in 2017 when he showed up late to a meeting on Thanksgiving. That coaching staff deserved to be fired for having meetings on Thanksgiving. He’s bounced around but been active every year until this one. Only 25 years-old, I would say this is one of the better prospects in the league. 
    3. David Rivers - Youngstown State product that made it in a few games over the last couple years. 
    4. Jeremiah McKinnon - Florida International corner who played one game for the Browns last year. 
    5. Terrence Alexander - Played for Stanford until becoming a grad transfer at LSU. 
    6. Nydair Rouse - The pride of West Chester University. 
    7. Ranthony Texada - Smaller corner out of TCU who might be a slot prospect.
    8. DeJuan Neal - The pride of Shepherd University. 
    9. Bryce Jones - Went to Akron after three years at Boston College. 
  6. Seattle Dragons
    1. Jhavonte Dean - From Juco to the U where he had 3 interceptions last year. He’s young enough to be an interesting prospect.
    2. Chris Davis - One of the most famous people in the league as he was the return man on Auburn’s famous Kick Six return against Alabama in the Iron Bowl a few years ago. He was named an All-American return specialist for his efforts, and he was also a return man for the Chargers and 49ers from 2014-2016 but has not made an active roster since. He should at least be a valuable addition on special teams, but there’s nothing too promising about him turning into a shutdown corner.
    3. Steve Williams - Four-star prospect who attended Cal and had a solid career for the Golden Bears where he left after his junior year and was drafted in the fifth round by the Chargers after a very good combine. He played with the Chargers from 2014-2016 but has been unable to make a roster since. He made some impact plays in the NFL, and he’s still young enough at 28 years old where I think he could have a very good year for the Dragons. A lot of him being overlooked may be literal as he is just 5’9”, but the guy can make plays, and this might be the bounceback he needs. Also, I double checked this, and he is not Dr. Death Steve Williams nor is he the real name of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
    4. Channing Stribling - Michigan man who was one of the worst athletes at the combine in 2017. He went undrafted and hasn’t been able to break through despite a senior year with four interceptions. 
    5. Mohammed Seisay - Went to Memphis and later Nebraska, and although he had a good freshman year at Memphis, he never really got a chance for the Cornhuskers. He still managed to make the Lions in 2014 but has not been able to make it anywhere since. There is a very limited track record of success, and it was a while ago, so I’m not expecting much from Seisay. 
    6. Sterling Moore - Went to SMU after junior college and managed three interceptions in college. Had six interceptions in the NFL and managed to stay in the league from 2011-2017. He hasn’t been able to make a roster the last two years, and since cornerbacks age quickly, this could be one last hurrah for Moore or he simply might not have it anymore. 
    7. Jermaine Ponder - Big cornerback out of St. Francis University that was unable to make the Texans. 
  7. Dallas Renegades
    1. Treston Decoud - Defensive back out or Oregon State. He was selected in the fifth round of the 2017 Draft by the Houston Texans. He played ten games for the Texans before getting in one more time with the Cowboys the following season. He could have trouble sticking around since he is not much of an athlete.
    2. Dashaun Phillips - The pride of Tarleton State, he managed to play in 11 games from 2014-2016 but hasn’t made it back since so my hopes aren’t super high for Dashaun. 
    3. Josh Hawkins - East Carolina corner that stuck around the NFL from 2016-2018 but wasn’t able to catch on with a team this year. Should be a solid corner prospect.
    4. John Franklin III - A great athlete that went to Florida State, the Junior College featured on Last Chance U, Auburn, and Florida Atlantic. He’s played just about every position imaginable, and even though he hasn’t specialized in any area, he still recently got signed by the Bucs so he might not make it to the XFL.
    5. Donatello Brown - Valdosta State corner that managed a few games with the Packers in 2017. 
    6. Tenny Adewusi - Delaware defensive back who is an avid weightlifter. 
    7. CJ Smith - Cornerback out of North Dakota State that failed a physical in May with the Seahawks. 
    8. Jamal Peters - Just graduated from Mississippi State last year which was an absolutely dominant defense. He’s 6’2” so he offers great size so he’s an interesting guy who’s fairly fresh out of college.
    9. Josh Thornton - Southern Utah corner who hasn’t found a way into an NFL game yet.
  8. Los Angeles Wildcats
    1. Jack Tocho - Originally from Kenya, he’s a cornerback out of NC State that was drafted in the seventh round by the Vikings in 2017 but has never made an active roster. 
    2. Jaylen Dunlap - Illinois corner that had one interception in his career and has been close to an NFL roster since graduating in 2017. He believes LeBron is the better athlete, but Jordan is the better player. 
    3. CJ Moore - North Carolina Central defensive back. RELEASED
    4. Roman Tatum - Delaware corner originally that transferred to Southern Illinois. Those are two pretty unexciting places. Let’s hope his play on the field is more exciting.
    5. Harlan Miller - Southeastern Louisiana corner that has good size but poor athleticism. He managed to get drafted by the Cardinals in the sixth round and has managed to play a few games each of the last three years before not being able to find a team this year. 
    6. Mike Stevens - Not the world famous saxophonist. Corner out of NC State. He wrote on Twitter, “Tory Lanez album dumpster juice.” I’m not sure if that’s the name of the album or the greatest insult ever. I plan on calling a lot of things dumpster juice from this point forward. 
    7. Bryce Cheek - Akron Zip who is trying to make it in the USA after a stint in Canada. 
    8. Tyree Holder - Former Ball State cornerback. 
    9. Joshua Jenkins - Former Army cornerback. Better to cover receivers than take cover, am I right?
    10. Arrion Springs - TRADED FOR JALEN COLLINS. Oregon Duck and not much else to say there.
