One of the biggest risers in The Athletic's latest big board? Hendon Hooker, who climbs 10 spots. Meanwhile, Georgia S Christopher Smith tumbles down the rankings. The final update before the NFL Draft, courtesy of nickbaumgardner and amock419:
and the entire gaggle this year — have been so much fun to watch. Martin had an impressive 44-inch vertical with a broad jump of 11 feet 1 inch, and he was a five-year starter in college. Whether he lines up as a safety or nickel, he’s ready to roll.cornerback Julius Brents is another guy who’s hard to stop watching. His length makes offensive tackles envious.
However, Smith plays with great anticipation in both coverage and against the run, and he always looks faster on the field than he is on a track. He’s more than a willing tackler . He is a fearless player who has obvious physical limitations, but he was the defensive table-setter for a Georgia team that won back-to-back national titles on the strength of its defense. Smith also played a ton of special teams at Georgia and will do it as a pro, too.
That counts for more than a 40 time. However, it all plays into the evaluation. Smith is a fringe top-100 prospect, but it wouldn’t shock me to see a team fall in love with him and take him earlier.
