The Denver Broncos had a pre-draft video call with Georgia Southern cornerback Kindle Vildor, according to Steelers Depot’s Daniel Valente.
Vildor (5-10, 191 pounds) ran a 40-yard dash in 4.44 seconds and bench-pressed 225 pounds 22 times at the combine earlier this offseason. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein says the cornerback “has the ability to challenge for a CB4/CB5 spot for man-cover defenses.”
Zierlein was not impressed with Vildor’s tackling, which probably wouldn’t make him a good fit for Vic Fangio’s defense in Denver.
During his final three years with the Eagles, Vildor totaled 94 tackles, one sack, nine interceptions, one forced fumble and 25 pass breakups. He would likely compete for a rotational job if selected by the Broncos later this month.
Vildor is the 22nd-best cornerback in this year’s class, according to Luke Easterling’s post-combine rankings on Draft Wire.
Denver will have 10 picks to use in the NFL draft (April 23-25) and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the team add multiple cornerbacks.
