Jalen Pitre SS Baylor | NFL Draft 2022 Scouting Report

Strengths

• Flashes some physicality as a hitter.
• Very good instincts, especially in the box. Sound and solid tackler. Takes good angles in pursuit.
• Transitions well from coverage to close on the ball. Strong hands, quick reactions for the interceptions.
• Has good trajectory assessment on the thrown ball, breaks quickly and has decent ball skills
• Physical run supporter in the Antoine Winfield mold with short-area explosiveness to leave his mark on ballcarriers.

Weaknesses

• Lowers his shoulder for the big hit rather than wrapping up securely.
• Has a cornerback body and needs to continue to get stronger to be more effective shedding blocks.
• Needs to get stronger. Too easily lost in the trash. Not a sudden athlete and shows body stiffness when attempting to quickly redirect.
• Inconsistent getting off of blocks. Can be a step slow to react when a quarterback comes back to his side of the field late in progression.
• Has very inconsistent tackling technique and too often just throws himself at the lower body of the ballcarrier instead of wrapping up.
