Josh Hawkins
School: East Carolina
Position: CB
Positive: Two-year starter who finished with a career-best 5 INT's and 11 PBUs as a junior. Athletic cornerback prospect that flashes ball skills. Effective facing the action, shows good route recognition in zone coverage and quickly locates the ball in the air. Has a nice move to the throw, correctly times his pass defenses and physically beats down opponents to break up passes. Works to get off blocks and make plays against the run.
Negative: Lacks the great closing burst. Has questionable deep speed. Struggles making plays with his back to the ball.
Analysis: Hawkins offers solid size and can line up in dime situations where he's facing the action.
