← Back to NFL Draft Big Board Chandler Rivers Duke HT: 5110 WT: 180 YR: SR POS: CB OVR RK 80 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL KEY STRENGTHS Very good zone instincts Quick hip sink/decel Competitive tackling KEY CONCERNS Average vertical speed Length limitations Inconsistent vs. run PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Rivers is an instinct-driven, zone-savvy corner with very good spatial awareness and route recognition. He excels when playing with vision on the quarterback, showing very good anticipation and timing to undercut throws and generate turnovers. His hip and ankle flexibility allow him to transition smoothly and decelerate efficiently on breaks, and he plays with competitive toughness despite average size. However, his vertical recovery speed is only above average, and he can be late opening against receivers who stack him. Length limitations show up at the catch point and when disengaging from blocks. Rivers projects best as a high-IQ nickel or boundary zone corner in Cover 3 and match-zone systems that maximize his instincts and minimize extended press-man isolation reps.

Sam Howell entered the 2021 college football season as the top QB on many big boards but did not have the year many expected him to have. After a solid 2020 season, Howell lost his two primary receivers and the best one-two punch RB combination in college football. At 6-1 220lbs, Howell has a similar stature to Baker Mayfield. He is an outstanding athlete who can use his legs to move the sticks or keep a play alive. He possesses key traits NFL scouts and GM's are looking for in today's QB, but in 2021. Howell improved his ability to go through progressions year over year in the passing game even though UNC relies on a lot of RPO's. He displays poise in the pocket, and he will stand in and make a tough throw with a defender bearing down on him. He throws the football with good zip and good, not elite arm strength. He can use different arm angles when needed and drive a football into a smaller window. In the run game, Howell can be an asset as a runner. He can move the sticks in key moments, but he might sometimes rely on his legs too early, moving with happy feet when the pressure is imminent. Overall, he must improve decision-making and do a better job hanging in the pocket longer, sidestepping pressure when possible rather than taking off too early. ← Back to NFL Draft Big Board Sam Howell UNC HT: 6010 WT: 225 YR: JR POS: QB OVR RK 79 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 6 KEY STRENGTHS KEY CONCERNS PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Sam Howell entered the 2021 college football season as the top QB on many big boards but did not have the year many expected him to have.
