Meet Jeff Gladney, the CB prospect who proves size doesn’t matter

Check out Draft Wire’s exclusive interview with TCU cornerback prospect Jeff Gladney

If you think size matters at the cornerback position, you’d better steer clear of TCU’s Jeff Gladney.

Opposing wide receivers across the country have found out the hard way that you shouldn’t underestimate Gladney, one of the top corner prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Gladney recently spoke exclusively with Draft Wire about his impressive career with the Horned Frogs, his experience at the NFL Scouting Combine, and why he’s ready to make a big impact at the next level.

JM: Your production increased with each season in your career, as did the accolades. How do you look back on your time spent at TCU?

JG: I had a great time at TCU. I enjoyed playing for defensive coordinator [Chad] Glasgow, my position coach [Jeremy Modkins] and [head coach] Gary Patterson. I trusted the process and showed improvement on a yearly basis. It paid off for me.

JM: You had 26 pass deflections over the last two seasons. What is it about your game that allows you to be around the ball so often?

JG: I credit that to my quick feet. I also have great instincts around the ball. I know where the ball is at all times. I’m a ball-hawk out there.

JM: You mentioned a few of your coaches. What did you guys run on defense, and what did they ask of you?

JG: We played a lot of man coverage. We predominantly became a man coverage team. The coaches decided to make that change. That’s how I became so good in man coverage.

JM: How can that help you make a smooth transition to the next level?

JG: A lot of NFL teams run man coverage. I’m ready for that. I know that I’ll be well prepared for that. Don’t get me wrong, though, TCU gave me experience with a ton of different coverages. At some point in time, we ran every coverage that you can possibly think of at TCU. Any coverage that my NFL team wants to play, I’ll be able to pick up on it very quickly.

JM: I thought you had some fascinating battles with wide receivers this past season, and even in previous seasons as well. What are some match-ups that come to mind?

JG: My two favorite match-ups from this past season were against Baylor and Texas. Denzel Mims and I had a great mach-up. I’ve been playing against him since high school. We already know what type of game it’s gonna be when we play each other. We know that it’s gonna be a competitive battle. Collin Johnson from Texas also comes to mind. He’s such a big receiver. We battled the entire game.

JM: It’s great that you mention Baylor. When I interviewed Denzel Mims a few weeks ago, he said that you’re the best cornerback in this draft class. He has you as the No. 1 cornerback.

JG: That’s love right there. We’ve played against each other so many times. We’ve probably had some our of best match-ups throughout our careers against one another.

JM: When you’re playing man coverage, do you approach a smaller, shiftier guy any differently than you do a bigger, more physical one?

JG: No, I really don’t, to be honest with you. It doesn’t matter which receiver I’m lined up with, I always keep my technique in mind. That’s how I prefer to play them.

JM: What’s your favorite part about playing the cornerback position?

JG: I love how competitive of a position it is. Man coverage places you in a 1-on-1 situation. May the best man win.

JM: What was your experience like at the NFL Scouting Combine?

JG: My experience at the combine was great. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I’m very thankful to have had the chance go out there and compete. It’s cool to know that most NFL players have gone through this experience and I’m going through it now.

JM: You had an excellent performance in Indy. You ran a 4.48 in the 40-yard dash, which was an excellent time. What do you think is the overall impression you left out there?

JG: I don’t think there’s any unanswered questions when it comes to me. I went to the combine and answered any and every question that a team could have about me. I performed at the combine with a torn meniscus. I definitely showed how tough I am.

JM: How are you feeling today, health-wise?

JG: I feel great. I’m 100 percent ready to go.

JM: Given the meniscus tear, do you think you surprised some people with your testing results?

JG: Yeah, I might have surprised a few people with my 40 time.

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

JM: Were you able to get any private visits or workouts in before the spread of COVID-19 shut everything down?

JG: I did a workout with the Arizona Cardinals just a day or two before the shutdown. That was the only in-person meeting I was able to attend.

JM: I imagine you’ve moved things to the phones since then. Who are some of the teams that you’ve met with via FaceTime?

JG: I’ve met with so many teams. I have a full list for you here. Via FaceTime and Zoom, I’ve met with the Jets, Raiders, Ravens, Cowboys, Vikings, Packers, Saints, Falcons, Titans, Browns and Chiefs.

JM: What was the strangest question you were asked at the combine?

JG: I wasn’t asked any strange questions at all. There really wasn’t anything that caught me off guard. I wouldn’t say that I had anything weird happen to me at the combine.

JM: “Undersized” is a term you’ve heard before. How do you respond?

JG: Shoot, I hear that word all the time (laughs). Size really doesn’t matter to me. It goes back to why I don’t cover receivers differently based on their size. Do you have heart? That’s what matters. Are you tough, physical and competitive? I know I am. I put trust in my technique. I’m confident in my abilities. I’ll line up against anybody.  I’m gonna bring the fight to you. It doesn’t matter how big or tall you are. I really don’t think that size matters.

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports

JM: What’s your favorite way to demoralize your opponent?

JG: I watch a lot of film. I do a lot of studying throughout the week. I’m gonna look for the things that makes you uncomfortable. It’s my job to get you outside of your comfort zone. I’m able to recognize a lot of things pre-snap. The receiver will line up across from me and I might start calling out their plays before they even run them (laughs).

JM: If you were going into battle tomorrow and could only bring one teammate from TCU with you, who would it be and why?

JG: I would bring Ross Blacklock with me. He just plays like a dog every snap.

JM: When a team uses a draft pick on Jeff Gladney, what kind of guy are they getting?

JG: They’re getting a coachable guy, first and foremost. I’m a very dependable and durable player. I’m confident in my abilities and I play fast. My football IQ allows me to play fast. I’m excited to hit the ground running.

Saints spoke with potential first-round cornerback out of TCU

The New Orleans Saints recently interviewed 2020 NFL Draft prospect Jeff Gladney, a highly-rated cornerback out of TCU, per a report.

[jwplayer cfFkvnkH-ThvAeFxT]

The New Orleans Saints might be in the hunt for more help at cornerback in this year’s NFL Draft. According to a report from Justin Melo over at Draft Wire, the Saints are one of eleven different NFL teams to have interviewed TCU cornerback Jeff Gladney, who also went through a private workout with the Arizona Cardinals prior to travel restrictions from the novel coronavirus.

While he isn’t widely perceived as a surefire top-20 prospect, it wouldn’t be a shock if Gladney ends being selected in the draft’s opening round. This year’s draft class is more uncertain than many that preceded it due to a lack of the usual pro days and formal facilities visits that NFL teams use to round out their scouting reports. Grades are more divisive than normal, and the Saints could very well end up being a team that does rank Gladney among that top tier, and be happy to pick him at No. 24.

So what’s drawn the Saints to him? Gladney measured in at 5-foot-10 and 191 pounds, timing the 40-yard dash in 4.48 seconds — clearing the established benchmarks the Saints have maintained internally. The redshirt senior is well-experienced in shadowing opposing No. 1 wideouts, playing a lot of press coverage while earning All-Big 12 recognition in three years as a starter (Honorable Mention in 2017, Second-Team in 2018, and First-Team in 2019). He finished his college career with the Horned Frogs with five interceptions and 43 total passes defensed in 50 games played. Not too shabby.

Besides slightly middling height and wingspan (Gladney’s arms measured in at a hair under 32 inches in length), the big knock on Gladney might be his injury history. He missed his first year with a medical redshirt while recovering from ACL/LCL surgery, and went under the knife again earlier this offseason after playing through a meniscus issue in his senior year. It’s possible his conversation with the Saints was a simple check-in on his recovery process.

While the Saints have a stellar top-two combination at cornerback between Marshon Lattimore and Janoris Jenkins, things are far from settled behind them. A number of players figure to compete for nickel duties (including P.J. Williams, Patrick Robinson, XFL signee Deatrick Nichols, and safeties Malcolm Jenkins and C.J. Gardner-Johnson) while the Saints lack a clear first-man-up should Lattimore or Jenkins miss time.

On top of that, Jenkins’ contract is structured so that the Saints can take it year-to-year, while Lattimore’s fifth-year option only guarantees he’ll be around through 2021. Gladney would make sense as an understudy for either of them as well as a possible heir-apparent. And considering how often the Saints field multiple defensive backs, it’s possible fans could get a good look at Gladney in his rookie year — if he ends up being the pick.

Chargers to hold pre-draft meeting with TCU RB Sewo Olonilua

The Chargers could be looking to fill out the backfield in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Chargers will be without Melvin Gordon next season after he decided to sign with the Broncos in free agency.

In order to fill out the backfield, Los Angeles could be looking to add a running back in the draft.

According to Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson, the Bolts had a pre-draft FaceTime meeting with former TCU RB Sewo Olonilua.

In four seasons for the Horned Frogs, Olonilua amassed 1,624 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns on 348 carries.

For his size (6-foot-3 and 232 pounds), Olonilua possesses some enticing traits as a ball carrier. He does a nice job reading his blocks and gaining yards provided for him, possesses the lateral agility to change directions in his cuts, power to pile his way through defenders and solid build-up speed in space.

Olonilua would be the perfect compliment to Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson, as his bruising style of running would be able to serve in short yardage situations and his physicality would aide in pass protection.

Olonilua projects as a Day 3 selection.

2020 NFL draft: Jeff Gladney scouting report

Everything NFL draft fans need to know about TCU cornerback prospect Jeff Gladney

Jeff Gladney | CB | TCU

Elevator Pitch

Gladney isn’t the biggest cornerback in the upcoming draft class but one of the more well rounded corners that will be in play during the first round. A corner who will do a good job of getting under the skin of wide receiver that he is covering. Hoping to force a mistake and that is where Gladney will take over.

Vitals

Height | 5-10

Weight | 191

Class | Senior

College Stats

College Bio

Strengths

Gladney plays well in press man situations. He can jam his man at the line to re-route the receiver and throw off the timing between him and the quarterback. That sometimes leads to passes batted down, incompletions or interceptions. He is able to use his length to his advantage with almost 32″ arms.

In coverage, Gladney does a good job of reading both the receiver and the quarterback. He plays with good anticipation in order to disrupt the pass. In man coverage, he does well to stick to the receiver. Unlike some corners who play the eyes of the receiver, Gladney plays the ball in the air. He is also physical enough to take the ball right out of the receivers hands.

Does a good job of mirroring receiver in coverage. He also possesses the speed to recover and close the gap if he gets over aggressive in playing the receiver. He is no stranger to playing bigger receivers. He did very well against Collin Johnson who stands in at 6’5″. Also he can be very physical as a tackler.

Weaknesses

Gladney will need to fix the focus drops at the NFL level. His numbers would be a lot better had it not been for dropped interceptions during his time at TCU. Not to mention as a tackler, he can take improper angles that could cause some issues for his potential team. Both fixable issues with proper coaching and technique.

Being a sticky defender is one thing but Gladney will need to learn to play better coverage downfield. He tends to be a bit grabby during the route which will cause flags to fly his way. Once those issues get fixed, he will be a good cornerback in the NFL.

Projection: Top 40

2020 NFL draft: Darius Anderson scouting report

Everything NFL draft fans need to know about TCU running back prospect Darius Anderson

Darius Anderson | RB | TCU

Elevator Pitch

The former 3rd ranked prospect at running back in the state of Texas, Darius Anderson would eventually lead TCU in rushing. He earned himself a roster spot at the Senior Bowl. He could find himself as a backup at the NFL level but will likely need to be patient to earn himself much playing time.

Vitals

Height | 5-10

Weight | 208

Class | Senior

College Stats

College Bio

Strengths

Anderson can be counted on in terms of ball security, only fumbled four times during his time with the Horned Frogs. Runs with good contact balance and always seems to fall forward when being tackled. Defenses need to wrap up on Anderson, he fights through contact and will lower his shoulder to pop the defender.

Definitely a back who can run between the tackles, gets upfield with some burst. See the field well enough to find cutback lanes with the initial gap gets filled. Shows off these skills well in the return game on kickoff returns. Has some wiggle when he runs as well, can create more opportunities downfield with how shifty he can be. Good receiver with soft hands.

Weaknesses

Not a running back that can be counted on in pass protection. Will limit his ability to get on the field. Needs to either run the ball or be a receiver. Won’t break off a lot of huge runs, can get upfield quickly but lacks that second gear to run away from defenders. Speedy defensive backs and linebackers can catch him in pursuit.

When running upfield, Anderson can dance around a bit much trying to make something happen. Pad level seems a bit high, will take unnecessary hits from defenders at times. Can’t take the corner as much as he would like to, needs to just get north and south.

Projection: Day 3

Meet Cordel Iwuagwu, TCU’s gem of an OL prospect

Check out Draft Wire’s exclusive interview with TCU offensive line prospect Cordel Iwuagwu

If your favorite NFL team is looking for an offensive line prospect who has been tested by some of the best defensive lineman in the country, TCU’s Cordel Iwuagwu may just be the man for the job.

One of the more underrated blockers in the 2020 NFL draft class, Iwuagwu recently spoke exclusively with Draft Wire about his experience at the NFL Scouting Combine, how playing for the Horned Frogs prepared him for what’s next, and what kind of impact he’ll have at the next level.

JM: You’re an experienced starting offensive linemen. You played a lot of football at TCU, and you really were one of the leaders on that offensive line. How does that experience serve you well going forward?

CI: I feel like I’ve seen it all from an experience standpoint. There isn’t too much that can surprise me honestly. I’ve seen it all before. You’re not gonna surprise me at the next level.

JM: Where are you health-wise right now?

CI: I feel great. I’ve been medically cleared to move forward. It’s all systems go right now.

JML: What do you enjoy about playing on the offensive line?

CI: I love protecting my guys. I can deliver some blows and create space for our offense to play at a high level. I’m just trying to help my team win games in any way possible. That’s what I enjoy. I’m into the X’s and O’s. I love figuring out how to overcome the challenges we have in front of us and how to combat different people.

JM: Is there a scheme that you prefer to play in at the next level?

CI: I’ve primarily played in the spread, but I’m comfortable playing in any scheme, really.

JM: How do you handle speed differently from power?

CI: In my opinion, you have to get off the ball when it comes to speed. It’s very important. You have to be able to match speed with speed basically. You can’t overstep speed. It’s a fine line. You have to get outta your stance as fast as you can. You have to keep your feet moving and you have to combat them with your hands. There’s no lunging involved. You can’t come off the ball late. All of those missteps are just quick ways to lose that rep.

With power, it’s a little similar. You have to match power with power. When they deliver a blow, you have to deliver a blow back. You have to use your hips and make sure that you’re sinking properly. You have to keep your head on the block. You still have to get off the ball. It’s not as important as it is with speed, but you still have to get off the ball. It helps you in both situations.

JM: What was your experience like at the NFL Scouting Combine?

CI: It was a great experience. It was great to be around the guys. Everyone there had the tools necessary to go on and be successful. That’s the biggest collection of talent I’ve ever been around. It was great to pick each other’s brains. We discussed different defenders we’ve gone up against. We talked about the schemes we’ve played in. Everybody was so friendly and eager to learn. Everybody was very supportive. It was a great experience.

JM: Did you have any formal or informal interviews out there?

CI: I had a lot of informals. I took care of most of my formals at the Shrine Bowl. I met with the Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers at the Shrine Bowl. That’s just off the top of my head. I met with a lot of teams.

JM: Do you have any private visits or workouts lined up, or is all that occurring after the pro day?

CI: It’s all going down after the pro day. I have some lined up already. Our pro day is March 27th. The Tennessee Titans are coming down here the day after the pro day to work out our offensive linemen and I’m included in that. We have four seniors so the Titans will be down here working with us as a group. I’ll start taking my visits after that.

Brett Rojo-USA TODAY Sports

JM: What was the strangest question you were asked at the combine?

CI: The Green Bay Packers asked me if I could tell them a joke on the spot. I froze up (laughs). I could not tell them a joke. They told me it had to be funny, too (laughs). I flat out choked.

JM: That’s honestly one of the funniest combine stories I’ve ever heard. What was their reaction?

CI: They all busted out laughing at my silence. They told me the next time they see me, I better have a joke ready for them. They told me the joke was the most important part of the interview (laughs).

JM: Who are some of the best pass rushers you’ve ever gone up against?

CI: L.J. Collier from TCU. Ben Banogu from TCU. Ross Blacklock from TCU. Are you seeing a theme yet? (laughs). My own teammates were the greatest. Neville Gallimore from Oklahoma was great, as well. Iowa State had a solid nose tackle last year. I can’t remember his name.

JM: That’s a lot of love for your own teammates.

CI: My guys made me better. We went at each other every day. I’m forever thankful for those guys.

JM: What’s your favorite way to demoralize your opponent?

CI: I never back down from anything. If I’m beating him on every rep, he’s gonna start to feel demoralized rather quickly. It doesn’t matter what he does after the play. I’m just trying to do my job to the best of my ability.

JM: What kind of player is Cordel Iwuagwu going to be at the next level?

CI: They’re getting a physical, accountable guy. I’m a leader first and foremost. It doesn’t matter if I play right away or not. I can sit back and learn if that’s what they deem necessary. I’m happy to soak it all in. I’m gonna give it my best during every day at practice.

2020 NFL draft: Jalen Reagor scouting report

Everything NFL draft fans need to know about TCU wide receiver prospect Jalen Reagor

Jalen Reagor | WR | TCU

Elevator Pitch

Reagor is an absolutely electric player. He can come out of the backfield, line up at wide receiver and is a playmaker in the return game. A fast rising player who could work his way into the first round of the NFL draft.

Vitals

Height | 5-11

Weight | 206

Class | Junior

College Stats

College Bio

Combine Profile

Strengths

The mistake that some make is thinking Reagor is nothing more than a gadget player, and that can’t be any further from the truth. While he can move around from coming out of the backfield as a runner or play out wide, Reagor is one of those players who you need to get the ball in his hands. Even at 5’11”, he can climb the ladder to high point the ball with his 42″ vertical.

Reagor really can work all three levels of a defense in the passing game whether is on a screen, intermediate routes or the deep shots down the field. He creates separation with his top end speed and crisp route running. Uses his technique well to explode out of breaks. He creates separation with that combination of speed and route running. Great option for quarterback as he will give you space to fit the ball in.

Big part of the NFL is all about field position. Reagor can help with big plays as a home run hitter on punt returns. His ability to see the field like a running back and find the hole. Not only seeing the field but has the explosive ability to get through the creases and top end speed to put pressure on the coverage unit.

Weaknesses

The biggest knock on Reagor will be inconsistent hands as a pass catcher. He did deal with suspect quarterback play during his time in Fort Worth, Texas. Although his hands can fail him at times, just needs to work on being more consistent when he gets the ball coming his way. Some of it may just be a lack of focus, can miss the gimme throws and make the spectacular plays.

As with any wide receiver that is smaller in stature, there can be worries about the physicality. For the former Horned Frog it is no different. Reagor can struggle with press coverage at times with dealing with more physical corners. Will need to work on disengaging from corners and use his athleticism to win at the next level.

Projection: Top 40

TCU’s Ross Blacklock finds out he has 37 unpaid parking tickets during NFL Combine interview

TCU defensive lineman Ross Blacklock got quite the surprise during his interview with the Las Vegas Raiders at the NFL Scouting Combine

TCU defensive lineman Ross Blacklock racked up quite the long list of parking tickets during his time playing for the Horned Frogs.

The problem? He wasn’t aware until the Las Vegas Raiders informed him during their interview with the draft hopeful at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine (via Jordan Heck):

That’s definitely not the best way to find out about such a thing, but at least now he knows? Thankfully, after he’s drafted in a couple of months, Blacklock should be able to take care of those tickets and plenty more.

Highlights

Strengths

  • One of the best playmakers in this year’s class.
  • Can go from 0-100 in a split second. Keeps defensive backs on toes and likely makes them think twice about playing press coverage.
  • Ability to get over the top of the defense requires the attention of a safety at all times.
  • Yards after catch king. Can turn a short throw into a long gain. Shows elusiveness, creativity, vision after the catch and suddenness, using head fakes and impressive lateral change of direction to make multiple defenders miss.
  • Light on his feet with terrific balance. Sinks his hips with ease and pops out of breaks to separate. Plant foot burst to gain spacing out of his breaks.
  • Unafraid to go up and get it. Tracks and adjusts, good concentration, leaping ability, body control and boundary awareness.
  • Excellent weight-room strength and ideal balance. Bounces off tacklers with ease.

Weaknesses

  • Limited route tree. Included slants, screens, stops, crossers, etc.
  • Could have difficulty beating physical, press coverage. Needs to develop hand technique at line of scrimmage.
  • Catch focus plummets at times, more focused on getting upfield before having the ball in his hands. Tends to cradle-catch even when he goes up for the ball and needs to improve attacking it with his hands.
  • Little effort as a blocker, looking careless in this aspect of the game.

Summary

Reagor is one of the fastest receivers in this year’s class, but it’s more than just his straight-line speed that makes him so dangerous. While many receivers have track-like speed, the former Horned Frog has the functional athleticism, burst and agility that makes him so lethal in the open field. TCU didn’t have the best quarterback play throughout the years and the offense limited him in terms of the route tree, so there’s still growth needed in that area to become a complete wideout at the next level.

Chargers Fit

Speed kills in today’s game and that’s something Los Angeles has been lacking at the wide receiver position. Reagor does offer some positional flexibility, but he would be the starting “z” receiver for the Bolts, where he would thrive as a vertical option to force defensive backs to hone in on him, opening things up for the other pass-catchers on the team. Given his blazing speed and elusiveness in the open field, he would be able to serve as a return specialist, too.
