Jonathan Wilhite
SELECTED BY: New England Patriots Round 4(30)
SI Grade
3.24
Position:
CB
Class:
Sr
 School: Conference: Ht., Wt.:
5-9.5, 185
 40 Time:
4.44

BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter who posted 30/2/2 as a senior after 24/0/5 the previous year.

POSITIVES: Undersized zone cornerback with marginal upside. Engages defenders at the snap, fluid transitioning off the line, and displays a burst of closing and recovery speed. Effective in zone and displays good awareness when the action is in front of him.

NEGATIVES: Struggled with hamstring injuries as a senior. Undersized and easily blocked from the action. Does too much trailing in coverage.

ANALYSIS: Wilhite has been marginally productive at Auburn, yet he possesses the speed to play at the next level and could turn into a dime back for a zone system.

PROJECTION: Late Seventh Round
