Brents will be a 23-year-old rookie and will turn 24 in January of 2024. For some teams, that age may be a factor that weighs against him. But every part of Brents’ journey has led him to where he is now — situated as one of the best CB prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Strengths
Legitimate albatross at cornerback with outrageous length and disruption radius.
Surprisingly elastic athlete at his size, who plays low in his stance and can swivel freely.
Flashes very quick response to stimulus reacting to breaks and can snap out of phase.
Has shown he can follow the QB’s eyes in zone and peel off routes while keeping phase.
Shows glimpses of high-level corrective twitch and reactive athleticism for his size.
Able to maintain discipline and balance using feet first, then disrupt with his length.
Urgent, high-energy mover on his backpedal who can suddenly clamp down on stems.
Has the length and long-strider speed to blanket zones in side-saddle coverage.
Has displayed the versatility to play press-man, off-man, zone, and roam into the slot.
Chippy two-phase competitor who rockets downhill with relentless energy in support.
Areas for Improvement
Frame is relatively light and lean and can be outmuscled in contact situations.
At times, experiences a delay before unhinging and channeling burst out of transitions.
Frequently tugs at receivers to compensate for non-elite fluidity and play strength.
Has a slight false step off the line when matching and can be more controlled with feet.
Can be more synergetic, patient, and precise with hands when jamming at the line.
Processing speed can be quicker on misdirections at times, as delays can be costly.
Can be late to discern intent and pass trajectory in zone coverage.
Ball tracking can be an issue downfield, both in terms of timing and identification.
Lacking play strength can impede his ability to get off blocks in support.
