Overview
Antoine did not play football until his senior year of high school and really struggles to read keys and diagnose plays. He will turn 25 in June and lacks growth potential physically, but might be able to develop his instincts. Antoine is not fast enough to be a center fielder and very stiff hips will prevent him from sticking with backs and receivers in man coverage. He plays with a mean streak and throws his body around, forcing receivers to keep their head on swivel when going across the middle. He blew out his knee in 2008, and given that he plays with a reckless abandon, durability might be a concern. Antoine has extremely limited football intelligence, but his ultra-aggressive mentality makes him well suited for special teams at the next level giving him a chance to make a roster.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Lacks football intelligence and struggles to consistently diagnose plays. Overaggressive in coverage and will bite on play-action and screens. Does not recognize route progressions and looks to land a kill shot rather than go after a ball in the air. Stiff hips prevent him from maintaining speed in transition, and he is a liability in man coverage.

| 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. |
