Who?
Ryan Pulley
What Position?
Cornerback
How Big?
He has a big heart
Yeah, but like actual numbers
5’-11”, 209 lbs
Strengths:
- Strong press corner
- Vocal leader in pre-snap analysis
- Great football IQ
- Great at downfield coverage, forcing receivers outside
- Good handwork to force incompletions
- Competitive
Weaknesses:
- Missed 2017 with pec injury
- Had some less than desirable off field instances
- According to scouts, has “inconsistent effort getting off blocks”
The Skinny:
Ryan Pulley had a promising start to his career that was cut short by injuries and extra-curricular issues. It’s hard to know how good he could’ve been, because the physical tools were always there. Pulley was probably the best pure corner on the Arkansas defense when he was healthy, and has a game that could translate well to the pro game. Hopefully, the issues with getting too heated on the field, and too flirty off of it remain isolated incidents.
Projected Round:
Seventh Round or Priority Free Agent
Who Would He Be If He Was An Avenger:
Star-Lord
