  Draft Scout by Conference









  Auburn may have lost a third-round NFL Draft pick at cornerback this offseason, but at least one coach is confident the Tigers could be even better at the position this fall. Jamel Dean was drafted in the third round by the Tampa Bay Bucs this spring, leaving an open starting spot at corner for Auburn this offseason alongside Noah Igbinoghene. With veteran defensive back Javaris Davis, who started at nickel last season, moving back to the outside, Auburn defensive backs coach Marcus Woodson is confident in the Tigers' starting tandem at corner as fall camp quickly approaches. "I really do feel like we have the best duo of corners in the country in (Igbinoghene) and Javaris Davis," Woodson said Thursday before speaking to the Monroe County Auburn Club in Monroeville.

That's quite a statement from the Tigers' second-year defensive backs coach, especially when you consider that Igbinoghene has just one year of experience at the position following a switch from offense to defense last spring and Davis played predominantly in the slot during the 2018 season. Still, Woodson feels great about the team's projected starters at corner. Woodson is particularly high on Igbinoghene - a player defensive coordinator Kevin Steele said possesses four key traits to be dominant at corner. As a sophomore last season, Igbinoghene led the team with 11 pass breakups, totaled 50 tackles, picked off one pass and had a forced fumble. While he had some ups and downs last season, as expected, Auburn's coaches were somewhat surprised by just how quickly Igbinoghene progressed after moving from receiver to cornerback last spring. - Birmingham News
