No. 80 – Troy Pride Jr, CB, Notre Dame
Double-dipping at cornerback? Yup. Pride is an elite cover man that simply hasn’t received enough recognition for his shadow ability. Pride has ample size at 5’11” and 193 pounds but understands leverage and how to implement press coverage.
Pride has excellent ball skills and shows enough short-area quickness and change-of-direction ability to kick into the slot, if necessary. You can never have enough talent at the cornerback position and adding Pride and Henderson in one draft would be one heck of a haul.
