Late Round Flyer Candidate CB/S Mook Reynolds

He was one of the top rated slot corners/safety in Power 5 Football. He got arrested and dismissed from VT last summer, but his charges were recently dismissed. He transferred and played at Texas A& M-Commerce last season.

I think if everything checks out, he's the type of talent you take a flyer on in the later rounds, especially since we are so thin at both Safety and CB, and he played the hybrid role, and pays the run very well on top of being a great slot corner.

Quote:

Mook Reynolds, Virginia Tech 2016 From a pure coverage standpoint, Reynolds has been the best slot cornerback in the nation this season as evidenced by his 88.8 coverage grade that leads all power-5 cornerbacks. He’s been targeted 19 times, allowing only seven catches for 25 yards, good for a ridiculous 1.3 yards/target. He’s tacked on an interception and three passes defensed so far this year, but watch out this weekend as he matches up with Dream Team slot corner Ryan Switzer in one of the best battles of the weekend. 2017 While Adonis Alexander or Brandon Facyson or Greg Stroman may get the most notoriety in that Hokie secondary, Reynolds has quietly been a force against the run, hauling in nine run stops – the most of any Power-5 cornerback through five weeks. His 7.0 run stop percentage ranks him just above Reed at third overall among the same group of Power-5 cornerbacks. If Reynolds can improve on his tackling (five missed tackles in run defense alone), his ability in the slot will continue to be crucial for the Virginia Tech secondary, and get his name passed around NFL draft war rooms.
