2009 NFP Scouting Series: Texas

(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

Impression: Has a nice frame with long arms, but isn’t real instinctive and struggles finding the ball inside.

Deon Beasley: No. 7, CB, 5-10, 178

An undersized corner who lacks the size and power to efficiently play bump coverage. Doesn’t possess the burst to make up for a false step and easily allows receivers to get behind him when he tries to jam them off the line. However, he exhibits good awareness and does a nice job locating the ball quickly and boxing out receivers away from the play.

Displays a compact back-pedal and looks comfortable when asked to get in the face of receivers and bail off into his drop. Does a nice job flipping his hips and transitioning down the field.

Needs to do a better job trusting his drop in off-coverage, has a tendency to open his hips up early and will allow himself to drift down the field. Therefore, he struggles gathering his feet and driving on routes in front of him.

Impression: Displays decent footwork in his drop and can flip his hips and run. Looks like a possible sub package slot corner.
