Scouting Report: Strengths
- A very quick and very confident cover corner plays bigger than his listed size when lined up in press coverage, delivering quick, surprisingly powerful punches and using his natural quickness and change-of-direction ability to mirror on underneath routes.
- Plays with the natural balance and ultra-quick feet to mirror underneath, and he’s tremendous at reading routes and reading quarterbacks.
- Shows the click-and-close ability to backpedal and the ball skills to make plays. Mullen has loose hips to go along with good top-end speed, and Mullen can flip around to turn and run in coverage.
- His ball skills are very good. Mullen tracks the ball well downfield and has the hands and coordination to come away with interceptions even when he isn’t targeted often.
- Can get up on the line of scrimmage and deliver a solid punch early in routes, then use that quickness to shadow, or back off and close quickly when the ball comes out
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Size is the obvious drawback, as Mullen isn’t going to hold up as a boundary corner. He’s often simply outmuscled by bigger receivers inside.
- Works hard in run support, but he is going to be walled off often and is more of a grab-and-hold-on tackler when taking on running backs.
- NFL quarterbacks may take advantage of his aggressiveness in man and zone to eye up short routes and go over the top
- Short with a small frame and will struggle against size at the next level.
