Name: Caleb Farley Position: Cornerback College: Virginia Tech Height: 6’2” Weight: 197 lbs (pro day) Overall Rank: No. 20 overall Position Rank: CB3 Strengths: A ballhawk with the speed to thrive in man coverage, Farley has it all from an athletic standpoint. He’s an easy-mover with great lower body twitch that allows him to run with top receivers but also adjust to breaking routes with great balance and short-area quickness. Farley lives near the ball and had four interceptions in 2019. A gambler, Farley baits quarterbacks into mistakes with his off coverage and then closes on the ball with blurring speed and great use of his length. A former high school quarterback, Farley is new to the cornerback position but in a short time became one of the best in college football. He requires some additional development, but his potential is amazing. Farley is tailor made for press coverage and has the confidence and traits to thrive in man coverage.
Part of me hopes that he is my Cardinal's pick at 16, but another part of me worries about the injuries and overall lack of experience...
