Full NFL Draft profile for cornerback Davison Igbinosun of the Ohio State University Buckeyes
Davison Igbinosun came into Ohio State as a top recruit. His first three seasons at Ohio State were solid enough, but they did not quite live up to the high expectations coming in. He was always a strong corner and able to keep tight coverage, but he got flagged for pass interference way too much as he had a tendency to grab after getting beat on cuts.
He cut down on the penalties a ton his senior season, which gives him serious consideration as a top cornerback in this year's draft class.Davison Igbinosun, CornerbackDraft Projection: Rounds 2-5I don't expect Igbinosun to get as high as the second round. He's a strong corner with huge potential, but he hasn't put it together enough in college to really earn the risk of a high draft pick.There are a lot of pretty good corners in this year's draft class, but there are very few elite ones. Where does that leave NFL teams looking at Igbinosun?
If he can get his penalty problem fully under control, he's a strong multi-year starter at the NFL level. If he can't quite stay with elite receivers making cuts, then he'll be a serviceable cover back for the second or third receiver. How much will NFL teams be willing to look to put into Igbinosun? That will decide whether a team wants to take him as high as early in the third round or as low as late in the fifth.This article originally appeared on Buckeyes Wire: Davison Igbinosun NFL Draft profile and projection
