Tennessee Volunteers cornerback Cameron Sutton has missed the majority of this season with a severe ankle injury, but prior the going down, he looked every bit like a legitimate NFL defensive back.

Sutton is a tough, physical cornerback who looks every bit like someone who could thrive in man coverage at the next level. With a 6’1”, 181-pound frame, Sutton will need to add some weight, but that shouldn’t be too hard.

Although Sutton can get burned at times, he has great recovery speed to make a stop and prevent the big play. The ankle injury is going to worry some scouts, but if he’s 100 percent heading into the combine and offseason workouts, he should start making some noise and climb up teams’ draft boards.
