NFL Draft Reports (Cornerbacks)
-Welcome to a new series where me and Chris Giraldo scout some of the best athletes in this years draft. As more and more information is given, we will update accordingly. Or maybe not. We are humans too. In this report we look at general information of a prospect, his off field history, strengths and weaknesses on the field, a summary and a draft projection. Without further ado, lets begin.

OVERVIEW:Being a Miami Hurricanes fan, it was interesting to see what the Cornerback spot would look like heading into the 2016 year. At first, the depth looked very thin, losing Artie Burns and Deon Bush to the draft, and graduates Tracy Howard and Dallas Crawford. It looked like opposing offenses were going to attack and munch on the secondary all year long. Then Adrian Colbert came along, and with the help of great coaching, and a really strong camp, he got his opportunity to shine. For the year, he put up respectable numbers, but there will be a lot of questions leading into the draft process. For a man who has only put up one season of performance, there will be doubt as to whether he has the capability to be a cornerback in the league. He will be asked questions about his transfer, injuries, and performance. But Colbert has a different road to the NFL, and just because it doesn’t come true on draft day doesn’t mean that he will quit. He has great work ethic and will continue drafted or not. All roads to success have some bumps, and Colbert has one obstacle here on his path.
DRAFT PROJECTION: UNDRAFTED
