Kelvin Joseph has all the physical ability and skill teams look for in cornerback prospects; it’s why he received a scholarship to an elite program like LSU. With elite size at 6-foot-1 and nearly 200 pounds and with just under 32 inch arms, Joseph showed out at his pro day with a 4.34 time in the 40, a 35 inch vertical, and a 10-foot-8 broad jump.
He was asked to follow top-five draft pick tight end Kyle Pitts. He locked down top-ten pick wideout Devonta Smith, including intercepting a pass from first-round pick Mac Jones on a go route. Joseph has fared well against the best competition from in his draft class.
The concerns with Joseph are not about talent or his physical gifts, but center more on off-the-field worries, along with inexperience. Joseph was suspended for a bowl game at LSU before transferring to Kentucky for the 2020 season. His dedication to his craft and moreso his response to coaching has been rumored to be a question at both collegiate stops. Those issues don’t normally disappear once millions of dollars are in play.
The player profile countdown continues with No. 24, rookie CB Kelvin Joseph.
