The main reason that teams feel that Clinton-Dix and Pryor could make it into the 20s is because neither one is considered to be a rare athlete with elite speed. As one source said, "Neither one of these guys is an Earl Thomas-like athlete." That was proven at the Combine when they had solid, but unspectacular 40 times at 4.58 seconds. Clinton-Dix looked better in the field drills, but neither dominated the Combine.

Multiple sources also pointed out that defensive backs from Nick Saban's programs have disappointed in the NFL. As one source said, the best defensive backs he produced could be Roman Harper and LaRon Landry, and even the latter didn't live up to his billing. Perhaps Dre Kirkpatrick or Dee Milliner will break that mold, but multiple staffers from around the NFL feel that Alabama defenders have been overhyped and haven't validated those expectations at the next level.

Saban was a beast on the sidelines for the Saints.

Pryor is a stud as well but a couple teams that need a physical S like Dallas will consider him

Whats funny is that the article says they might last into the 20s (gasp) because of 40 times. OP here was kind enough to spin that into a solid flame.

He was never overly impressive on the field. He was however a smart reliable safety who was in the right place at the right time more often than not. He will be a good NFL player. Not a pro bowler, but serviceable.

A safety is a Defensive-Back.

And? DB means defensive back, which can mean corner or safety. DB does not specifically mean CB.

Nice to see gumps project their players NFL worth by the W/L vs LSU.

Yall are so obsessed with us, but we already knew that.


Like I said, he's not that impressive. Certainly not a 1st rounder.

eta: im not sure what his record is vs LSU
