DeJuan Tribble SELECTED BY: San Diego Chargers Round 6(26)

SI Grade 3.37 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter awarded All-Conference honors the past two seasons. Senior-year totals included 35/4/8 when he missed three games with a knee injury. Totaled 49/7/10 as a junior.

POSITIVES: Quick-thinking, explosive cornerback with good ball skills. Quickly picks up assignments, immediately locates the pass in the air, and has a closing burst to the play. Effective in zone facing the action, displays good timing, and possesses solid hands for the pick. Comes up the field in run defense and wraps up when tackling.

NEGATIVES: Short and struggles against tall receivers. Slowed by a knee injury last season and played poorly at the Senior Bowl.

ANALYSIS: Tribble lacks classic size/speed numbers, yet he could be an asset as a backup in a zone system.

PROJECTION: Middle Sixth Round
