DRAFT TRACKER 2022

Ball-hawking FCS cornerback with outstanding combination of size and athletic traits for the next level. McCollum is big and plays with good physicality in coverage but his footwork to match the release and phase the route tend to stand out. He is instinctive and has great ball skills at the catch-point but there is room for improvement playing downfield throws. His play speed is good but he might not have the instant juice to prevent being stacked on vertical routes from press. He can press or play all forms of zone and has early special-teams value as he transitions into the pros.

The twin brother of cornerback Zyon McCollum features the same size and athletic prowess as Zyon but lacks the instincts and coverage consistency teams are looking for. Getting to the play with burst and tenacity is not a problem, but doing it on time can be. McCollum will need to improve his route recognition in order to make more plays on the football. His testing and character will be appealing to teams, but he needs to tighten up his play on the back-end to make a roster.

A compact catch-and-run wideout with enough wiggle to create yardage for his quarterback, Ezzard frequently lined up outside, which forced him into more contested catches than he was able to handle. He won't out-battle cornerbacks for contested catches, but does have the footwork and athleticism to become a competent route runner from the slot. The hands and ball skills are slightly below average on tape but could improve with more work and aggression. Ezzard's punt return ability and talent with the ball in his hands should give him a fighting chance in camp.
