What the experts are saying

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com: "Talented height-weight-speed prospect who comes from NFL bloodlines. Might need time for his technique to catch up with his traits. Coverage inconsistencies could cause him to struggle against quality competition early on, but his mental makeup and recovery talent should help him pull through. Has the instincts and run-support skills to become an early starter for a zone-cover defense, but it will be hard for teams looking for a lockdown, man corner to pass on all of those physical gifts early in the draft."

Rob Rang of CBS Sports: "Humphrey possesses the size and speed scouts are looking for on the outside and he appears to be just scratching the surface of his potential. His lack of ideal fluidity leaves him vulnerable to smaller, quicker receivers, however, and he has been complemented by a terrific pass rush over his career."

ESPN.com: "Humphrey is a redshirt sophomore who appeared and started in 29 of 30 games the past two seasons recording 13 PBUs and 5 INTs. Excellent bloodlines; Father Bobby played RB at Alabama and was a 1st round selection in 1998 NFL supplemental draft while Mother Barbara was a collegiate track star. Humphrey has arguably one of the highest ceilings in this years' CB class due to size and physical skill set but needs to show more consistency with instincts and ball skills. He projects as a potential top-40 selection whose best fit will be within a heavy press man or zone scheme."
