Georgia. player. Pick Analysis. CB. 25. 16. Scouting Report. Eric Stokes Jr.

The Buffalo Bills are building a heck of a defense and could be the team to watch for the foreseeable future out in the AFC East.

Eric Stokes is entering his junior season at Georgia without an interception, but with a very nice 18 pass breakups in two seasons. He’s also been one of the highest-graded cornerbacks in the SEC for two seasons.

Highest graded returning SEC CBs:

1. Derek Stingley Jr, LSU - 91.9
2. Kaiir Elam, Florida - 87.8
3. Patrick Surtain II, Alabama - 83.8
4. Eric Stokes, Georgia - 82.5 pic.twitter.com/qehVofLQEE

Stokes has the type of feisty mentality at the cornerback position that Sean McDermott loves and a knack for making plays on the ball. Hopefully, he is able to explode in 2020 with a bunch of interceptions to go along with those nice PBU numbers.
