Potential Eagles replacements for Rodney McLeod in 2022 NFL Draft
Yusuf Corker, Kentucky. 5. player. 833. . .
Potential Eagles 2022 draft prospect Yusuf Corker
Who would have thought? They play football in Lexington Kentucky now folks!
It took them a while, but the Wildcats are inching their way towards being a consistent contender in the SEC East. Sure, they aren’t on the level of the Georgia Bulldogs, but Mark Stoops has this program headed in the right direction. Guys like Yusuf Corker are big reasons why that’s the case.
This six-foot, 197-pound safety prospect racked up 241 total tackles, two sacks, three interceptions, 14 pass breakups, a fumble recovery, and a defensive touchdown in 43 career games at the collegiate level. That’s pretty good work for a guy playing at a ‘basketball school’ in the NCAA’s best conference and best NFL farm system.
Once we dig into the draft process, the expectation is that Corker will be one of the top ten safeties on everyone’s draft board. A huge Pro Day, scouting combine, and/or Reese’s Senior Bowl will improve his draft stock, but in the meantime, expect for there to be some buzz that builds around this 2021 Lott IMPACT Trophy semifinalist.
