Blessuan Austin is a fit for a bump-and-run system that prioritizes physical corners capable of disrupting receivers at the line of scrimmage, particularly those employing Cover 3 principles.
He projects as a Year 1 depth corner with the ceiling to develop into a starting boundary CB in a scheme that values physical, press-man coverage.
A passive, off-coverage zone heavy scheme that doesn't utilize his press capabilities would diminish his value significantly.
Austin's physical play style and measurables are best utilized in a system that allows him to play aggressively at the line of scrimmage.
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.
