CHARLES TILLMAN

Position: S Class: Sr School: La. Lafayette Conference: Sun Belt Ht., Wt.: 6'1, 207 40 Time: 4.49 Grade: 3.52 Selected by Chicago Bears Round 2, pick 3 (35 overall)

BIO: All-Conference selection as a senior totaling 100 tackles, two INTs and breaking up eight passes. 38-4-8 the previous year originally garnering All-Conference honors after 64-6-9 as a sophomore. Started five games as a true freshman and has been used at both safety and cornerback. POSITIVES: Solid secondary prospect best on the inside. Light on his feet, moves well laterally and quick reading or anticipating the action. Disciplined, plays assignment football and takes good angles to the ball carrier. Defends the play sideline-to-sideline, redirects to the action and quick supporting . Strong at the point and slows receivers at the line with jams or brings ball carriers down on initial contact. NEGATIVES: Only average man-to-man cover skills, lacks flat out speed and explosion. Tackles a bit high. ANALYSIS: Better at free safety facing the QB and could eventually start in a two deep cover scheme. PROJECTION: Early Fifth Round
