STRENGTHS
Trevon has the size and athletic talent teams are looking for in a big cornerback. He is very smart and uses clever techniques that add to his abilities and skills to cover receivers. He has excellent strength and is a quick, strong, form tackler, wrapping up with the strength to take down bigger opponents. Trevon looks to be a mature football player with good communication skills working well with his teammates before the snap of the ball. He is an excellent zone cover corner with good hands to make the interception when it is needed. Trevon is big enough and strong enough to be used in the slot against those, pass-catching Tight Ends and large receivers and because he is a good tackler against the run. Trevon is a complete cornerback and because of his high football IQ and clever Techniques, he should be able to start right away for the team that selects him.
CONCERNS
Trevon is a little slow on his hip flip because of his long legs and can get beat deep but in his defense has excellent catch-up speed. He will struggle against the smaller quicker receivers but he also will win some downs against them because of his use of those clever techniques.
BOTTOM LINE 1.94
Trevon has to be one of the smartest and common-sense corners I have seen coming out in the draft in a long time. He understands when the QB is on the far hash mark and there are three receivers to his side that unless the QB is going to roll to his side the chances of the pass going to the far receiver on a vertical pass is not likely and defends the play accordingly. When he is in press coverage and anticipates a slant pass on an obvious third and short down and distance, on the snap of the ball, Trevon takes a big first step INTO the receiver, at the line of scrimmage making the receiver have to hesitate or change his route disrupting the play right from the snap of the ball. He also is strong, with strong hands and in press coverage at the snap, will hit the receiver’s shoulder (Not his chest) throwing the receiver off balance and making him late into his route. Because Trevon has good makeup speed he can recover if he has guessed wrong but at the next level, he will pay for guessing wrong for sure. He reminds me a lot of Richard Sherman because of his size and his football intelligence to understand his limitations and mask those limitations on the field with off-field film work. It would not shock me if Trevon slips a bit in this draft because when he works out at the combine a lot will depend on his 40 time for most teams but don’t worry, Trevon will still be a very good Corner at the next level if your team is smart and selects him.
