Draft Profile: Bio
Dontae Manning from Raytown High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Manning opted to join Oregon after being heavily recruited.

In 2021 as a freshman Manning saw action in 13 games and played a total of 258 snaps at cornerback for the Ducks. He recorded 19 tackles, 2 assists, while adding 3 stops. In coverage Manning notched up no pass breakups, no interceptions, and QB rating when targetted of 113.8.

As a sophomore in 2022 he played in 12 games and logged 197 snaps for the Ducks. He made 16 tackles, 3 assists, and had 2 stops. In coverage he totaled no pass breakups, no interceptions, and QB rating when targetted of 85.6.

In 2023 as a junior Manning played in 12 games and contributed on 339 snaps. He chalked up 17 tackles, one assist, and added 2 stops. In the secondary Manning forced 3 pass breakups, one interception, and gave up QB rating when targetted of 65.5.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Has good awareness and quick feet. Fluid backpedal, aggressive attacking the receiver from the snap, and flashes spectacular ball skills.
  • Plays with the natural balance and ultra-quick feet to mirror underneath, and he’s tremendous at reading routes and reading quarterbacks.
  • Picks up crossing routes well from the hash and uses cornerback speed to chase and cut in front of passes when possible.
  • Not a major liability in man coverage. Good enough foot speed and length to stay with slot receivers in four-wide sets on short patterns.
  • Tracks the ball well downfield and shows good ball skills, including the ability to go up and high-point it in contested-catch situations.
  • Fast and agile, Manning sticks to receivers and closes on the ball.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Manning gets beat over the top too often, and Manning tends to panic and get too handsy when running downfield.
  • Susceptible to the big plays as a gambler at the catch point and as a catch-and-run victim. He’s also too reluctant to come up and make hits in run support, often focusing on the strip more than the tackle.
  • Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
