1. Brandon Flowers - Virginia Tech 5-10/186

Brandon is always there, he can cover the in route as well as the out route and is not afraid to come up and stuff the run. This corner class is deep and really talented but even with the talent, Brandon is at, or near the top.

2. Antoine Cason - Arizona 6-0/185

Just an incredible athlete but his ability to play physical with bigger receivers is what I love most. He will not be shoved off the route and he has great ball skills to boot, just a great all around football player.

3. Leodis McKelvin - Troy 5-11/190

Leodis is very explosive and will be a dual threat as a return man but his physical play and ability to stuff the run is his most impressive attribute. I will have to wait and see if he can cover NFL receivers, he has the quicks but I will wait and see none the less.

4. Mike Jenkins - South Florida 6-0/200

Mike has every attribute you want in a corner. He can be physical along the line and he is great at run support, that combined with his speed and he would be incredible special teamer as well, but he should start early, he can flat out ball. Character issues are all that's holding back.

5. Aqib Talib - Kansas 6-2/195

Aqib is a football playmaker, which is to say that on a football field he looks as natural as a receiver, corner or return man. Versatile corners are in high demand, the more you can do...

6. DeJuan Tribble - Boston College 5-10/182

DeJuan has tremendous hip flex and a great burst as well. He suckers QB’s into throwing his way and is usually quick enough to make the play on the ball.

7. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie - Tennessee State 6-2/182

DRC was flat out electric. He played center field on one of his picks in the Senior Bowl but the fact is he was reading every route and running the routes for the receivers.

8. Chevis Jackson - LSU 6-0/185

If Chevis had better hands he would have some incredible stats but it's his ball skills and ability to see the throw while staying on the receivers hip that I love about him.

9. Justin Tyron - Arizona State 6-1/185

10. Justin King - Penn State 6-0/186

11. Jack Ikegwuonu - Wisconsin 6-1/201

12. Dwight Lowery - San Jose State 6-1/185

13. Tracey Porter - Indiana 5-11/185

14. Terrence Wheatley - Colorado 5-10/180

15. Zack Bowman - Nebraska 6-2/200

Terrell Thomas - Southern Cal 6-2/195

Trae Williams - South Florida 5-10/193

Orlando Scandrick - Boise State 5-11/187
