Player Notes

CB Trent McDuffie Bio

• Trent McDuffie is one of those prospects that feels impossible not to love; besides size and length, he checks all the boxes to be a great corner in the NFL.
• Appears to have one of the best characters in this draft; great in interviews and has been praised for his football IQ as it also shows on film
• Has truly elite acceleration paired with very good long speed; also has amazing instincts for a corner prospect
• Very versatile skillset; great playing the run as a slot and could fit in multiple schemes as an outside corner
• Very good tackling and pursuit for a corner
• Short arms and not the greatest height to go along with it; limits his upside in press coverage and with his ball skills
• Not much experience in press coverage or zone coverage in general; has the traits to improve though
