When it comes to shutdown cornerbacks, there’s not a more dominant prospect in college football than Florida’s Quincy Wilson. In a class loaded with talent in the secondary, Wilson comes out as the top corner.

Even though Wilson doesn’t have elite speed like some defensive backs have in this class, it doesn’t really seem to matter. The Florida prospect has the ideal size of an outside corner at 6’1” and 213 pounds. He uses that frame aggressively by jamming receivers in press coverage and making sure nothing gets to them in man schemes.

Combine that skill set with fluid hips and natural ball skills and you have the No. 1 cornerback in the 2017 NFL draft.
