A developing corner who’s shown a lot of promise, Ball is a late-round selection who could be used as a nickel or dime back for a variety of defensive systems.


Biography:

Four-year starter who posted career totals of 62/1/11 last season after 55/1/5 as a junior.

Pos:

Tall, thin cover corner who plays heads-up football. Effective facing the action, works well with safeties and quickly breaks on the ball. Reads the action, displays a good degree of suddenness to his game and fast up the field defending the run. Gives effort in all aspects of the game.

Neg:

Not strong at the point, has tackles broken and loses out in battles. Struggles staying with receivers out from their breaks.
