Kendall James, CB, Maine, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com
STRENGTHS
Outstanding timed speed and leaping ability. Terrific balance, body control and agility. Fluid and flexible with loose hips and ankles to transition and change direction smoothly. Mirrors in man coverage. Aware in zone. Plants and drives quickly. Shows burst to close and recover. Good ball skills. Will come up and stick his nose in run support. Has special-teams experience as a gunner. Three-year starter.
WEAKNESSES
Does not look the part -- is skinny with extremely short arms and small hands. Must bulk up and get functionally stronger -- gets wired to blocks. Does not have strength to press -- will be outmuscled by larger receivers outside the numbers. Tackles low and needs help from the cavalry when he cannot chop down ball carriers with momentum. Lacks experience playing inside.
BOTTOM LINE
Undersized, fluid, quick-twitch, college field corner who figures to raise eyebrows when the stopwatches come out before the draft. Will always have size and strength limitations, but has a chance to stick as a sub-package defender given his speed, feistiness and ball skills.
