2021 NFL Draft cornerback rankings: Patrick Surtain II leads strong group
By John Blair
25. Rodarius Williams, Oklahoma State
6-foot, 193 pounds
2021 NFL Draft grade: Sixth round
Oklahoma State’s Rodarius Williams was a true shutdown corner in 2020. This past season he didn’t allow a single yard to be gained against him in four games and didn’t allow a single touchdown pass all year. Despite this production, he might lack the skills to play in the NFL since he lacks great speed and shows only average aggressiveness.

26. Aaron Robinson, UCF
6-foot, 190 pounds
2021 NFL Draft grade: Sixth round
A prospect who is a little overrated in the 2021 NFL Draft is UCF’s, Aaron Robinson. While Robinson has put up solid production in college having been named to the All-AAC second team in both 2019 and 2020 he lacks the overall game speed and instinct to be a major factor in the NFL. It would not be a shock if the team that drafts him moves him to safety since he is a physical player who is not afraid to support the run.
27. Nahshon Wright, Oregon State
6-foot-4, 183 pounds
2021 NFL Draft grade: Sixth round
An intriguing developmental cornerback in the 2021 NFL Draft is Oregon State’s, Nahshon Wright. To go along with his lengthy frame, Wright has been a ball hawk having recorded five interceptions in just 16 starts at Oregon State. In order to make it in the NFL though he is going to have to become a more physical player and bulk up from his current weight of 183 pounds.
