Jimmy Lake’s time as a coach for the Washington Huskies has produced NFL defensive backs Marcus Peters, Budda Baker, Kevin King, Byron Murphy, Taylor Rapp, Elijah Molden, Keith Taylor Jr. and this year is adding consensus first-round prospect Trent McDuffie. But of all the prospects Lake has tutored, from being a defensive backs coach, all the way up the ladder, Kyler Gordon could be the best ball of clay he’s ever produced.
The coach himself already called Gordon the most athletic he’s ever come across, and Gordon made Bruce Feldman’s 2021 Freaks list.
Gordon is a 6-foot, 200-pound ballet dancer, who has used a dance and kung-fu background to maintain his agility as he has continued to put on mass every offseason. Gordon’s 3.87 mercurial pro agility score was only .14 seconds from the record of 3.73. With the right coaching staff, Gordon could end up being the best corner in this class in five years and another good corner from the DB factory at Washington. Is that staff in Dallas?
