Two-year starter from the FCS who needs a very specific role to have a long-term chance. Yarns was a productive three-down player at Delaware. He’s a slender long-strider with good top-end speed but has very little contact balance and is not built for interior runs in the NFL. He will need to improve his route-running so he can rebrand as a change-of-pace slasher with pass-catching talent.
Sixth-year senior and team captain with impressive size but average cover talent. Herring looks the part of a press corner but lacks the foot quickness to match the release and stay connected to route breaks. He’s adequate from zone but might not have enough twitch to burst and make plays on the football. Sliding over to safety might give him a better chance of making a team, but such a move will take an upgrade in aggression and tackle consistency to handle the job on the NFL level.
