Well, it’s only natural that someone from the Alabama Crimson Tide is on the list, isn’t it? At six-foot-one and 205 pounds, Trevon Diggs has shown that he has some ability, but he’ll need coaching to be the best version of himself at the professional level.

During his 44-game career with “The Tide”, Diggs has added 68 total tackles and four picks to Alabama’s cause. He should be the fourth cornerback off of the board.

How ironic is it that we create a list of the best cornerbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft, throw Okudah and Henderson off of it, and a member of the Ohio State Buckeyes finds his way into the top spot anyway?

Well, that’s precisely what happened here. Damon Arnette deserves it though. He doesn’t get a lot of publicity because his teammate was so good, but after 35 tackles, eight pass breakups, and an interception, he’s seen as someone who could find his way into the latter part of Round 1 or hear his name called early in Round 2.
