Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Earl Thomas
Summary

Downs has arguably been the best safety in college football since the day he stepped onto Alabama’s campus in 2023. He was the first true safety to start Week 1 of his freshman year for Alabama in the Nick Saban era. His ability to process and diagnose on the back end is special. He also has easy movement skills similar to his brother, Colts wide receiver Josh Downs, to finish plays. He’s one of the safest picks in the draft.

About
  • Career: Sixth DB to be named Unanimous All-American twice (Johnnie Johnson, Kenny Easley, Deion Sanders, Tripp Welborne, Eric Berry)
  • 2023-25: Only DB with 250+ tackles, 15+ TFL and 5+ INT over past three FBS seasons
Strengths
  • Play recognition is off the charts.
  • Elite fluidity in space; changes direction with ease.
  • Versatile enough to play any defensive back alignment.
Weaknesses
  • Tiny frame by NFL safety standards.
  • Average ball production.
  • Size could be an issue around the line of scrimmage.
