Overview
One of the few players in recent memory to be named all-SEC at two different positions. As a first-year starter at cornerback in 2006, Pegues made second-team All-SEC with four interceptions. He made the first team as a free safety as a junior and a senior, picking off seven passes and breaking up 13 others over those two seasons. Like 2008 prospect Jonathan Hefney of Tennessee (who went undrafted), Pegues still needs to prove he can excel in one area in the NFL. His return skills also intrigue scouts -- he has averaged 10 yards per punt return (with two touchdowns) and 22.3 yards on kickoffs during his career.
Analysis
×
| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
