nBradberry became just the second player in Samford history to play in the Reesexe2x80x99s Senior Bowl, last month. Hexe2x80x99s a big, strong, prototypical modern cornerback. His build is what has the scouts licking their chops. Coming from the FCS level, there are questions about how hexe2x80x99ll handle the increased level of competition, although Ixe2x80x99m skeptical that his transition would be any less smooth than the next rookie. Hexe2x80x99s not a great man coverage guy, particularly when he presses. He has been especially susceptible to being beaten by smaller, faster wideouts, struggling to read their hips and keep up. In zone coverage, however, he can excel. Above average ball skills, and, of course, the size, is what makes Bradberry a worthwhile flyer to take a chance on, especially for better teams in need of a rotational zone corner.
