ERIC MEEKINS

Position: S Class: Sr School: Clemson Conference: ACC Ht., Wt.: 6'1½, 190 40 Time: 4.55 Grade: 3.23

BIO: Two-year starter at free safety finishing with 92 tackles, one interception and five pass defenses as a senior after 70-0-3 the prior year. POSITIVES: Tall, aggressive safety best making plays up the field. Quick to read or diagnose the action, hard hitting and strong at the point of attack. Takes good angles to the play, redirects and wraps up tackling. NEGATIVES: Lacks closing or recovery speed, lateral range and a half step late in coverage. Stiff moving in reverse. ANALYSIS: Could develop into a strong safety but must physically mature, add bulk to his frame and be used in a system that does not ask him to cover a large amount of area. PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
