Derek Stingley Jr. is about as smooth of a CB prospect as you could ever hope for coming out of the draft! Derek has elite speed and fluid hips that allow him to mirror WRs step for step in and out of breaks while possessing a rare ball-hawking ability to intercept passes thrown at him. Stingley Jr.'s elite athleticism and rare ball skills make him a generational talent at CB!

Green is an experienced starter that has played multiple positions along the offensive for the Aggies. In fact, Green has played every position but center. Green has natural functional strength that he uses to become a true road grader in the run game. Offensive coordinators will find it beneficial to call run plays that follow directly behind Green's path. This is a fantastic pic for Houston as Green represents a date 1 starter for the Houston Texans!

Jalen Pitre is a senior CB for Baylor who has been receiving significant playing time for the Bears since his freshman year. Pitre aligned in multiple positions for the Bears' defense --Baylor had no qualms asking Jalen to play FS, SS, ILB, or OLB.

Pitre is best when he can play as a middle-of-the-field robber and use his natural instincts to lead him to the ball.

John Metchie III is an elite athlete that has exceptional start-stop ability and possesses blazing speed top-end that makes him a scoring threat on every play. John uses his straight-line speed to run deep overs, which have been a classic in the Alabama offense over the years.

Metchie III's explosive athleticism combined with his ability to break tackles in the open field will make him a nightmare matchup in the NFL!

Christian Harris is a three-year starter for the Crimson Tide defense, holding the job since he was a true freshman. Harris possesses a strong upper body and a built, powerful lower half. Combined with this frame, Harris is also an exceptional athlete who thrives at playing in space. Harris has the versatility to cover backs out of the backfield and run with TEs vertically up the seams. In the run game, he's a physically dominant presence that can lay the boom on ball-carriers!
