Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia

Height/Weight: 6-0, 186

Age: 21.2

Strengths

  • Press Technique: Plays with appropriate foot fire and hand reaction at the line of scrimmage
  • Physicality: Unafraid to mix it up at the catch point and in the run game despite his size
  • Play Recognition: Innate feel for route concepts and when to break on the ball
  • Ball Skills: Can find the ball when in phase and force pass breakups
  • Confidence In-Phase: Seldom panics when targeted, trusting his technique and playing through the WRs hands

Areas of Improvement-Concerns

  • Recovery Speed: Can be exploited in man coverage when losing off the line
  • Length: Not an overly big corner
  • Grabby: A little handsy at the top of routes
  • Awareness: Plays with blinders sometimes

Evaluation:

Lassiter may not go as high as other corners due to a lack of domains traits, but teams that want a day one contributor who can play a variety of coverages and make plays on the ball will be happy with Lassiter as a day two pick.
