Dennard would thrive in a Cover-3 match zone scheme that prioritizes a physical, press-man corner who can shut down one side of the field.
Immediate starter at outside CB, with a ceiling as a shutdown corner in a zone-heavy system.
A purely off-man coverage scheme that asks corners to consistently play soft, trail technique.
His physicality and ball skills make him an excellent fit for systems that leverage aggressive corner play on the perimeter.
Selected #24 overall in Round 1 of the 2014 NFL Draft by Cincinnati Bengals out of Michigan State.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
