Scouting Report: Strengths
- Good strength to tackle. Plays with high energy and is a tough-minded overachiever
- Very aggressive attacking receiver blocks and tackles like a safety
- Very fast with natural athletic talent
- Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands
- Aware zone cornerback who is also adept in man coverage - who can sit on a top WR take him out of a game
- Daniels can line up inside and outside, and he shows good balance and top-end speed.
- Supreme in press coverage, but shows some versitility to adapt to other schemes
- Smart instinctive player who recognizes plays well
- Has shut-down ability
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Has a high backpedal and loses a step in the transition.
- Questionable technique and sometimes he gets lazy with fundamentals, sometimes getting high in his backpedal and will breach the coverage call seeking flashy plays
- Inconsistent getting off of blocks
- Has been horribly injury prone and as a result, hasn't played much. This will likely scare a lot of teams off
Scouting Report: Summary
Based on athletic ability and talent Daniels alone would be an easy first-round selection, but the huge elephant in the room is an almost never-ending array of injuries - which have plagued his college career. It remains to be seen to what extent his injuries were a run of unfortunate flukes or a symptom of something deeper. The combine will do much to determine this and if the former proves correct he may be a first-round selection, otherwise, he could fall into the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft.Noah Daniels percentiles vs other Cornerbacks (NFL Combine historically - higher value represents better perfomance)
