DRAFT TRACKER 2026

Gushiken is extremely fast with above-average balance and change-of-direction quickness in man coverage. He can stay relatively sticky to routes at all three levels. He does lose track of the clues quarterbacks provide at times, which helps explain his average ball production relative to his athletic ability. He’s compact, tough and willing in run support but will still give way to size on occasion. Overall, Gushiken is scheme-diverse as a nickelback. He has enough cover talent and special-teams value to compete for a roster spot.

Williams has good size and his on-ball production carried over from a smaller school into the SEC. He lacks functional speed and athleticism as a coverage option in space, so he will be limited to zone coverages in the pros. He’s fearless as a run defender but still needs work in his approach as a tackler. Williams’ kick-coverage production helps, but the athletic profile might not be enough for him to stick on a roster.
