Ourlads' Profile:
2019 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about XAVIER CRAWFORD: Central Michigan, 5107 187 4.48. One year starter at Central Michigan from Pittsburg, CA. Graduate transfer from Oregon State after starting there for two years. Was a gray-shirt in 2015 so actually had another year of eligibility but opted to declare. Plays off and press equally well. Experienced in deep outside and hard corner zone concepts. In press, mirrors off the line with consistency to cut off route breaks. Ignores the first move away from leverage and sticks the next move. Rarely gives up leverage. In off, has a smooth pedal and pace. Patient in pedal-breaking or turning with precise reactions. Sticks comeback routes with a burst on plant and drive. Times hands to get to the catch point. Turn and run in off and press is fluid timed to stay in phase. Reads and balances route combinations in zone. As a hard corner sinks under the intermediate and reads the delivery key to break up or react to the deeper throw. Not the most aggressive in run support. Can be too easily washed out on a stalk block. In phase can be slow to get his head around to find the ball. Ball skills are more for the pass break than the interception. Can be out-muscled for deep balls. More of a reactive than physical press corner so there is some concern playing against quick physical receivers in the NFL. 2018 stats: 24 T, 3 TFL, 12 PBU, 1 INT. BTR:left 5.04, right 5.28. OSR:18/33. Seventh round/PFA. (A-29 1/8, H-9, VJ-37.5, SS-DNP).
