An early look at some of the top cornerback prospects for the 2012 NFL draft.
Seniors
Chase Minnifield: Virginia (6-0, 185)
Minnifield needs to continue to add some weight to his frame and get a bit stronger. However, he’s fluid/polished in his drop, clean when asked to turn and run, and knows how to play the football. If he can get a bit more physical off the line this year, he has the makings of a legit first-round prospect.
Alfonzo Dennard: Nebraska (5-10, 195)
You want to know why Big 12 offenses were so willing to throw at Nebraska CB Prince Amukamara this past year? Because Dennard was playing opposite him. Watching Dennard on tape it’s obvious how physical this guy is in press coverage. He gets a bit overextend at times and will lose his balance, but he can turn and run, and has the makings of playing both inside and out at the next level.
Janoris Jenkins: North Alabama (5-11, 186)
