Best run-support skills
What Scouts Inc. looks for: With Cover 2 being so prevalent, run support is becoming more of a factor for today's corners. Being big, strong and having the ability to outmuscle receivers on the stalk-block is imperative. A player must be physical and a strong tackler. Explosion plant, drive skill and closing burst are key attributes.
3. C.J. Barnett (Clayton, Ohio/Northmont)
Barnett has impressive size and physicality while still showing the hip-fluidity needed to mirror quicker ball carriers in space. He fills hard and quickly on the perimeter with explosive plant and drive skill. The future Buckeye does a great job setting the edge and forcing the run inside with his strong frame. Barnett is a very aggressive, collision tackler who sells out his body for the big hit. The Ohio native is a true Cover 2 corner.
