Analysis
What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about CALEB FARLEY before he made the Tennessee Titans' Depth Chart: Virginia Tech, 6010 207 4.45. Junior entry, two-year starter, Hickory, NC. Opted out of the 2020 season. Started his career as a wide receiver but quickly adapted to corner as a red-shirt sophomore. Has outstanding length for the position. Played a variety of coverage including man to man along with multiple zone schemes. Solid in both press and off man. Adept at reacting to a receiver release at the line. Patient in press he rarely loses leverage and can stick an off-hand jam to disrupt a route. Consistently ignores first move away from leverage and is quick reacting to double moves. Rarely out of position on a route he’s quick to mirror and cut off route breaks. Sudden in transition he’s sudden closing on receivers and breaking on the throw. Consistent with eye discipline he keeps his focus on the receiver in man cover. Has a knack for getting his hands to the catch point with excellent timing. In off man maintains cushion and times his turn and run to stay in phase. Has the speed to handle vertical routes. Often appears to be running the route for the receiver. Plays corner like a wide receiver with the ball in the air on a deep throw. Locks out a receiver and wins most battles for the ball. Has made some spectacular interceptions. He can be physical taking on blocks and has solid tackling skill. Flashes zone skill closing voids in a short space. Has shown some inconsistency dealing with multiple routes in zone and has been caught jumping a route. Has had some injuries including an ACL in 2017 and missed time with back spasms in 2019. Was coming off a procedure to deal with the back issue heading into the 2020 season. If he passes team physicals, he is a lock as a mid-first round selection. Has all the tools of an elite corner in the NFL. 2019 stats: 20 T, 12 PBU, 1 QBH, 4 INT (1 TD). Second/third round. (A-33 3/8, H-8 3/4, VJ-NA, SS-NA).Georgia, 6064 350 5.40. Red-shirt sophomore entry, two-year starter, Brooklyn, NY. Missed two games in 2019 with an ankle injury. Second-team All SEC in 2019. A tools-rich tackle who still has a lot to learn and put into practice. Needs to take in NFL coaching so that his footwork can become second nature. Has a lot of ugly tape but when he does line things up, his combination of length and power can be dominant. He is a high-upside prospect who shouldn’t be rushed into action. Mammoth size that holds a lot of weight very well. Elite length with a pair of heavy hands to go along with it. Can lock defenders out from a distance and give himself time to line up his feet. Creates a lot of movement on contact in the running game. Gets a good punch and will make sure his hips are behind it. Has the athletic ability to protect the edge. Shows flashes of dominance via his tools and aggressive style. Footwork gets very messy and unorganized in pass protection at times. Will cross his feet and run up the edge. Susceptible to change of direction and inside move. Over commits to his initial read. Hands get wide, doesn’t pay enough attention to detail when it comes to technique. Overly reliant on his tool set. Needs to really hone in his knee bend and control at his size. OSR:13/41. Third/ fourth round. (A-35 1/2, H-10 1/4, BP-26, 10-1.79).
