Watching CBs this week - and this rep from #Syracuse CB Ifeatu Melifonwu really stood out.

Was a big fan before he went to the @seniorbowl; big reason why he was one of my top DBs there was reps like this
Great size. Solid athleticism. GREAT instincts / spatial awareness pic.twitter.com/5veuwUONJA
Melifonwu reminds me of corners in Seattle's scheme. Great size, length. He's got some good AA too. You need it in their scheme. They also use this Step-Kick technique.

I see a lot of Tre Flowers in Melifonwu. pic.twitter.com/VwvCrbtqFa
Melifonwu is a stud. I think he can play anywhere in the secondary. pic.twitter.com/cq4MG9NDdd

Here is the physical profile of a first-round CB. More importantly, @Ifeatu_Mel has the tape to back it up. π°π°π°

After watching Surtain, Farley, and Horn (all good players) there isnβt enough talk about @CuseFootball CB Ifeatu Melifonwu. Hard to find guys with @Ifeatu_Mel prototype measurables (6025v, 212v, 3218 arm, 8018 wing) that transition & trigger like this.#TheDraftStartsInMobile pic.twitter.com/g3EUuGSIt7

Melifonwu one hell of a force player and tackler... Fights off perimeter blocks like rag dolls and will use those long limbs to wrangle ball carriers. Throws body around.
