Fernando Bryant #- CB
Age: 30
HT: 5-11 WT: 184
Drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 1st round (26th overall) in 1999
Assets Solid cover corner. Can run with anyone and blankets most receivers. Has very good technique. Has some catch-up speed.
Flaws Is small and has trouble with bigger receivers. Not a great zone defender. Poor in run support. Will gamble and lose.
Career potential Adequate starter.

LEWIS SANDERS
Age: 29
HT: 6-1 WT: 200
Drafted by Cleveland in 2000 (4/95).
Positives: A fine all-around athlete who is versatile and can play anywhere in the secondary. Generally covered the opposition’s best receiver in ’99. Has the desired size for cornerback, good range and above-average man-on-man coverage skills. Has excellent ball skills. Plays the ball very well. Will work on his game and study films of the receivers he will be guarding.
Negatives: Not that consistent. Needs additional work in coverage. May not be quite as quick and sudden as scouts would like a cornerback to be. Lacks good CB hips.
Summary: A bigger cornerback with enough cover skills to play that position and with starting potential at safety. With really good workouts, Sanders could move into the Chad Scott class of prospects. Was not entirely healthy at the Combine and had a slightly disappointing workout. The two most impressive things about Sanders as a corner are his size and ball skills.
