DRAFT TRACKER 2024

Inside/outside cornerback prospect who might be relied upon more heavily from the slot due to his lack of size and length. Still is scheme-independent, with the processing for zone and the foot quickness to play press and off-man. He plays with good anticipation to steal throws from zone and stay tight to route breaks over the first two levels. While he’s capable in press, he doesn’t have the burst to make up ground quickly when he whiffs against the release. Below-average make-up speed and length could be a concern, but Still has the coverage talent and scheme versatility to make a roster as a backup with some upside.

A full-time starter at Cincinnati in 2022 and Maryland in 2023, Sheppard is an outside cornerback with above-average size and adequate length. However, he lacks the technique and experience to handle NFL opponents right now. Sheppard can slow the release from press but struggles to maintain both his balance and composure as the route travels downfield. He lacks instincts and anticipation from off coverages but should improve his route squeeze with additional training. Size isn’t teachable, so if he proves he can run with enough speed, Sheppard will have a chance to potentially land on a practice squad for a longer runway of development.
