The Former Miami Hurricanes & Georgia Bulldogs CB is a fighter!
Big outside corner who plays with good speed and a whole lot of violence and aggression.
He is a fighter, which in certain instances, has worked against him.
As you watch the tape, you see his explosive personality immediately. You can also see the skills, including his jumping ability, which was not surprising considering he had a 37.7″ vertical jump in High School
Tyrique is a guy who plays 100% trusting his instincts, and those instincts create a lot of big plays, but it also comes with some risks. His speed allows him to make up for a lot of those decisions that could lead to big plays, but not all.
An example of when his speed does recover.
He is extremely physical at the line and, at times, a little grabby, but that can easily be cleaned up and will need to be for him to be successful in the NFL.
He is also a very good blitzer when his number is called.
The upside is clear. He could be a bit of a risky pick because if he doesn’t clean up some of his risks taking, the floor could be low. But if he gets the coaching to play to his full potential, his ceiling is as high as anyone else in this class.
I can see from watching a few games that he likes to talk to his opponent a lot! Stevenson would be the first player in a decade to give BG a run for his money for who talks the most on the defense.
If everything goes well, Tyrique could be a fan favorite in Philly.
He comes up big, in BIG moments.
Tyrique performed well at the combine:
Height: 6' 0
Weight: 198 lbs
Arm Length: 32 5/8"
Hand Size: 9 5/8"
3 Cone drill 7.09s
20-yard shuttle 4.41s
Broad Jump 10'5"
Vertical Leap 38.5"
I love his upside and I would gamble on his high ceiling.
Stevenson also could bring value to the special teams as a punt returner.
It would not be surprising if he ends up being one of the better corners from this class when we look back on it in a few years.
