Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 81.85 (Starter)

Pro Comparison: Rasul Douglas

Summary

Maxwell Hairston is a boundary cornerback with a slight frame who has been exposed to zone and man coverage. Over the past two years, he has shown great ball skills. There could be concerns about his size coming off a season where he was limited to five games played. Hairston needs to do a better job tackling in space, but has the hip fluidity to mirror vertically and across the field.

Strengths

Great ball skills as evidenced by six interceptions and three touchdowns over the past two seasons
