On paper, he has size, speed and athletic traits with the ability to play high safety, split zone and over the slot. On tape, he lacks instincts and ball-hawking tendencies to disrupt passing attacks with positioning and/or ball skills. Abernathy's pro day testing numbers were strong across the board and those traits can get defensive backs drafted late even if the tape is uneven. He's a big nickel/safety prospect with a chance at finding time on the practice squad or back-end of the roster.
