The Dallas Cowboys select Chidobe Awuzi, CB, Colorado

Chidobe Awuzie, Colorado, #4

Game Film Evaluated:
USC (2016)
Stanford (2016)
Washington (2016)
Michigan (2016)


Summary: Physical tackler, he will not back down from trying to make a tackle. He plays special teams coverage units. Physical in coverage, gets his hands on the receiver at the line and downfield. Comfortable playing in off man and press man coverage. He looks to make a play on the ball and play the man to knock it away. Held his own athletically vs John Ross at Washington who is a first round prospect. 

Chidobe Awuzie is a plus solid corner who is one of the best man cover corners in the draft who is also a plus tackler. He is not the biggest corner in the class but he will not get out muscled for a ball. He is not a playmaker though in coverage, often the ball went elsewhere in college. He is comfortable lining up and outside as well as inside and doing a good job. He may never be a plus starter but definitely a starter in the NFL and able to get the job done effectively against any type of receiver.  It is rare to find a corner that isn’t afraid nor have trouble bringing down receivers after the catch. Early 2nd round grade.
