“Unveiling the Top Cornerback Gems: Which Prospects Could Revolutionize NFL Pass Coverage?”

1. Jahdae Barron, Texas (36.1% burn rate allowed)
Barron passes both the eye test and the Opta Analyst data test for a starting cornerback at the next level.
At Vanderbilt last season, he thumped his way through a game against the Commodores, closing quickly on passes in his direction and laying his body on whichever black jerseys he could find. It epitomized how none of the top cornerbacks in the draft class got burned less often than Barron in 2024.
