| Kelcie McCray Scouting Report |
| Kelcie McCray - Arkansas State (HT: 6-1¾ - WT: 202) |
Positives -- Great height and size for the position... Fluid hips and the ability to stay with receivers in man coverage... Ten career interceptions with good break on the ball... Great run after the catch ability when returning interceptions... Good in the box safety, particularly against the run game,
solid and willing tackler... Good natural ability and has some versatility... Has upside with the potential to be coached up into a solid depth player... Three year starter with plenty of experience at the position... Worth a late round flyer pick... No significant injury history or off the field problems to be concerned with... Can be a solid special teams contributor in the NFL... Showed impressive straight line speed and likely improved his stock at the NFL scouting combine, his 4.54-40 was fourth among participating safeties.
Negatives -- Gets caught looking in the backfield too often, can be easily manipulated by quarterbacks with vision and play action... Struggles in zone coverage and too often lets receivers get behind him... Good hands but not elite... Not an overly instinctual player... Will sacrifice coverage assignments in attempt to be aggressive against the run game... Not an overly punishing tackler, has been described as a "passive" tackler and player at times... Bit of a tweener who needs to bulk up at the next level... Did not face elite talent on a week to week basis in college... Inconsistent player, will play like a ball hawk at times and then gets lost in the secondary on other plays.
