 Anticipation
After a terrible campaign in which McCauley did not meet the expectations of NFL scouts, he continued his poor play in the post- season. Offers the size, speed and abilities to start in the NFL, yet he must quickly rebound and get his act together.


Biography:

Three-year starter and previous All-Conference selection who posted 56 tackles and broke up seven passes last season. Junior totals were 45/1/7. Suffered a concussion during the second game of his senior campaign then was benched late in the year for poor play.

Pos:

Physically gifted cornerback who has previously shown the ability to shut down opponents. Fluid transitioning to run with receivers, diagnoses the action and has a quick break to the ball. Runs with opponents laterally or stays with them down the field. Physical, will mix it up and voluntarily defends running or screen plays. Rarely challenged by opposing quarterbacks. Terrific athlete who easily adjusts or contorts running full speed to defend the throw.

Neg:

Did not consistently play aggressive football as a senior. Bit on play action passes, pump fakes and showed minimal instincts last year. Slow getting his head back around then positioning himself against opponents to make a play on the ball.
