Name: Greg Newsome II Position: Cornerback College: Northwestern Height: 6’0” Weight: 192 lbs (pro day) Overall Rank: No. 29 overall Position Rank: CB4 Strengths: A long, athletic, agile cornerback with coverage versatility in his game, Newsome has NFL starter traits no matter the defense you want to run. He’s quick breaking back to the ball and excels in underneath coverage where he uses his change of direction skills and length to punch away at the ball. Newsome grabbed just one interception in 2020 due to a shortened schedule but was a menace on a regular basis. His best trait is his footwork where he moves like a much smaller, more compact athlete but has the length and height to cover top wide receivers on the outside of the formation. Despite limited experience in college, his timing and instincts are top-notch. He profiles as a very early starter.
