(Last Updated: April 17, 2025)

1. Travis Hunter, Colorado
CB/WR | 6’0″ | 188 lbs | 3rd Year

Travis Hunter is truly a special talent. The former 5 star recruit and reigning Heisman Trophy winner dominated both sides of the ball this year, showing unheard of stamina and durability. But fans don’t acknowledge that excelling on both sides of the ball isn’t just about not getting tired. To be a great player on both sides you need to spend twice as long watching film and twice as long practicing. Doing something like that requires you to be built different.
Hunter showcasing elites athletic prowess in every regard. Above average speed, short area quickness, elite body control and stop-and-start ability, good strength, and a truly elite football IQ.
The competitiveness is off the charts, and he exceled at everything he was asked to do on a football field. Which was just about everything a player could do on a football field.
I tag him as a cornerback first because I think the talent gap between him and the average corner is greater than the gap between him and the average receiver. But I genuinely think he’ll be involved at least to an extent on both sides of the ball in the NFL.
Travis Hunter 2024 Stats
13 games: 36 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 15 passes defended, 4 interceptions, 1 fumble forced, 1258 receiving yards, 15 receiving touchdowns
2. Will Johnson, Michigan
CB | 6’2″ | 194 lbs | 3rd Year

Will Johnson was a dominant corner from day 1 at Michigan, and despite missing over half the season with injury he’s still in line to be a top 10 pick in the draft.
Johnson has elite size and decent length for the position, coupled with incredibly quick hips and feet that allow him to effectively mirror receivers. He has impressive instincts and an especially strong first step to jump routes or break up passes, combined with receiver-level balls skills to close out plays or to go up high on a jump ball and win.
Johnson’s size helps him as a run defender, where he’s shown a strong football IQ and is rarely caught out of position. He does a solid job finishing tackles, has a versatile enough skill set to thrive in any defensive scheme.
Will Johnson 2024 Stats
6 games: 14 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 5 passes defended, 2 interceptions
3. Shavon Revel, East Carolina
CB | 6’2″ | 194 lbs | 3rd Year

Had Shavon Revel not gotten injured in week 3, there’s a chance he could have worked his way into the top 5 overall.
Revel has an elite combination of length and athleticism. He glides in the open field as well as anyone in the class on either side of the ball, with very long arms on top of his tall 6’3″ frame.
He’s a prototypical press corner with great straight line speed to recover if he’s beat, along with decent ball skills to break up passes. Revel is also a great tackler who routinely got motioned into the box to help in run support.
Having only played one complete season and having played very few games against high level competition might hurt Revel’s chances, but his potential is through the roof.
Shavon Revel 2024 Stats
3 games: 8 tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, 4passes defended, 2 interceptions
4. Benjamin Morrison, Notre Dame
CB | 6’0″ | 193 lbs | 3rd Year

Benjamin Morrison is yet another talented corner whose season was cut short with injuries, missing out on Notre Dame’s run to the championship.
Morrison has been a key contributor since his true freshman season, playing with a combination of urgency, athleticism, and instincts. The 6’0″ corner lines up all over the field, and excels thanks to his aggressiveness and particularly quick feet which allow him to mirror receivers.
He’s allowed less than 50% completions on passes to the man he’s covering in each of his three seasons, and has excellent ball skills to finish interceptions.
He’s more quick than he is fast, but he has enough speed to recover against the majority of receivers.
Benjamin Morrison 2024 Stats
6 games: 20 tackles, 4 passes defended
5. Jahdae Barron, Texas
CB | 5’11” | 194 lbs | 5th Year

Jahdae Barron was likely the best defensive back in college football this season, acting as a do-it-all player who lined up all over the field and could fix whatever problem the defense was having.
When targeted this year, QBs had a mere 33.1 NFL passer rating, meaning QBs would have been better off throwing the ball in the dirt than they’d be looking in Barron’s direction.
Barron mastered the art of aggression from the cornerback spot, knowing exactly how much contact he can get away with to disrupt the receiver without losing drawing a penalty. That aggressiveness also shows up as a tackler, accelerating into his hits and rarely ever missing tackles.
The biggest issue is he just doesn’t have the traditional size of an NFL outside corner, and slot defenders don’t traditionally have as much value.
Jahdae Barron 2024 Stats
16 games: 67 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 16 passes defended, 5 interceptions

MORE 2025 NFL DRAFT RANKINGS
Traits That Make a CB Prospect Great
To be an elite cornerback, you need to be able to run backwards as fast as the best receivers can run forwards. You need elite stop and star ability, great length to break up passes, along with the ability to tackle. Understandably, cornerback is heavily reliant on physical traits. Length, quickness, and speed are among some of the most important factors of scouting the top cornerback prospects.
Some of the factors we consider when scouting are included below.
Fluidity
Fluidity and flexibility, particularly in the hips, is a can’t miss trait for a corner. The ability to turn and run and defend like a basketball player in a standard part of most pass coverage routes. A corner also needs a smooth backpedal and elite start-stop ability. Fluidity can’t really be coached, but it’s needed to match up with the elite athletes at wide receiver.
Length
Length is another uncoachable trait that allows a corner to disrupt at the catch point and break off passes. Corners with short arms rarely get drafted because they have a much smaller margin or error in coverage and have to get closer to a receiver to jam them at the line of scrimmage.
Quickness & Speed
For other position I’ve separated out these two traits, but they’re both vital when determining cornerback draft rankings. Having quick feet underneath with help you stay in good position and effectively mirror your receiver. Speed is also necessary to turn and run on a deep route, helping with recovery and reducing the need for safety help.
Coverage Technique
Athletic traits are necessary, but a cornerback will need some fine tuned technique to succeed in the NFL. Maintaining tight coverage, staying in phase during man or press man coverage, and being aggressive without getting penalties are just a few aspects of good coverage corners.
Overall Opinion of the 2025 CB Draft Class
There have been some good cornerback classes recently, and 2025 is no exception. There might not be quite as much day 2 talent as normal, but everywhere else is extremely strong.
What’s interesting with this group is the absurd number of injured players at the top of the class which has made it difficult to form a full evaluation. Will Johnson, Shavon Revel, Benjamin Morrison, Max Hairston, and others had major injuries as expected top-100 picks.
