Azizi Hearn

Evaluation

Ryland B.: Hearn is a bigger corner who played a decent amount in the slot at UCLA. He lacks the ideal agility for such a role, but he has the size to be a physical presence in coverage, especially against smaller receivers. He’s a good athlete with solid long speed, and a really good hip switch for a corner his size – he just doesn’t have CB1 athletic traits or ball skills, especially against NFL receivers. The biggest concern on his draft profile is age, however. Hearn has played 6 seasons at the collegiate level. Hearn won’t be a high draft pick, but his physicality and athleticism will make him an interesting pickup in the later rounds. I could see him as a quality special teamer at the next level.
