2027 NFL DRAFT BIBLE CORNERBACKS

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish would appear to have an embarrassment of riches at the cornerback position. Led by lockdown cover man Leonard Moore, a smooth athlete with fluid hips and top-notch speed. His long arms and confidence make him an ideal press-man corner.

Remarkably enough, teammate Christian Gray is even more athletic, prompting the Notre Dame staff to experiment moving him inside to nickelback during the spring due to their great depth. Meanwhile, promising prospect DJ McKinney transferred in from Colorado, forming what could amount to be the most terrific trio in college football.

Michigan has a triplet of cornerbacks of their own with Jyaire Hill, feisty Zeke Berry and newcomer Smith Snowden. The lengthy and fast Hill has been dominant in spurts, while Berry proved to be a tough competitor, making multiple pass breakups in contested catch situations. Snowden transferred in from Utah and has drawn high praise from within the scouting community but projects more as a slot.

Sticking in the Big Ten, Ohio State defender Jermaine Mathews possesses elite ball skills, plus the flexibility to line up in multiple spots and fits into a man, or zone scheme. One other notable transfer is Jontez Williams who went from Iowa State-to-USC, after suffering a season-ending ACL injury a year ago.
