Bernard (Josh) Lay Grade: 3.34  Position: CB  Class: Sr  School: Pittsburgh  Conference: Big East  Ht., Wt.: 6-0, 195  40 Time: 4.49   Selected by: New Orleans Saints   Round 6, pick 5 (174 overall) Grading System

BIO: Three-year starter awarded All-Conference honors since his junior campaign. Posted 29/3/11 as a senior after 22/3/12 the prior year. POSITIVES: Nice-sized cornerback with a developing game. Displays solid awareness, quickly locates the ball and nicely times his defenses. Displays a good break to the ball, fights to defend throws and physical. Engages opponents off the line and supports the run. NEGATIVES: Not effective in reverse and quickly comes out of his back pedal. Does a lot of grab tackling. Marginal hands for the interception. ANALYSIS: Possessing solid size and an aggressive style, Lay is best backed off the line of scrimmage or in a zone system. Could develop into a starter at the next level if he continues to progress.
