Kris Abrams-Draine Missouri Stats

ESPN

Pros

• Hand usage
  Gets his hands up fast and latches on to redirect the WR off his landmark
• Sticky coverage
  Excels in underneath areas, playing with tight coverage and forcing pass breakups
• Tackling fundamentals
  Well coached player who would bring his pads with him and wrap up on contact

Cons

• Build
  Slinky player that is limited in his usage due to lack of functional size
• Versatility
  Teams may worry about his versatility or alignment outside of anything beyond a slot corner and in sub-packages
• Leverage
  Can be beaten off the line with a lack of high end athletic traits showing face

Eval:

Abrams-Draine plays one of the toughest positions in football as slot corner in a predominantly single high defense. His ability to play underneath man coverage is notable but he must work on his ability to contain defenders and prevent down-field targets. 

Floor Comp: Arthur Maulet

Slot corner that plays well underneath or off the edge on designed blitzes. 

Ceiling Comp: Buster Skrine

Competitive player who plays the nickel with energy.
