STRENGTHS
Nasir has the natural talent that few people have. He is a quick twitch athlete with the speed and quickness to play many different positions on either side of the ball. He can play either one of the safeties positions and any one of the cornerback positions. He can play the slot on nickel dime and he is a hell of a special team’s player being the first down to cover that brings back memories of former Bills Steve Tasker. He has quick feet and excellent hands and I have no doubt would be an excellent receiver if he played offense. There is no better pure athlete in this draft and that jumps out at you when you turn the film on. He can play up at the line scrimmage and will form tackle as good as any linebacker in this draft. There is pro bowl written all over this kid.
CONCERNS
There are two issues that will concern teams but do not concern me. The fact he played for Delaware and not in the SEC and… his size. Both are bogus excuses to down grade this kid.
TALENT BOARD ROUND 1.47
Like I stated before, when you put on the film of this kid, he is all over the field making plays and like I always say, you don’t pass on defensive players who are playmakers. Nasir has a high football IQ to go along with that natural athletic talent. He is leader through his play on the field and his high football IQ. So far as I can tell, Nasir is one of the better cover corners and zone corners in this draft. He is also one of the better safeties in this draft and might be the top special team’s player in this draft. Now if you’re a GM and you want to overlook all of that, and overlook how Nasir plays the game on film because he played for Delaware… than all I can say is, have a happy life as an TV analyst. Oh, and by the way let me add this bit of information also, I saw this kid at the senior bowl practices, he played some corner and safety and he was hurt and he still was one of the best players on the field. So, go head, overlook that bit of information too…I dare you future TV analyst.
