Don Carey SELECTED BY: Browns Round 6 (4)

SI Grade 3.24 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Four-year starter awarded all-Conference honors after his junior and senior seasons. Totals last year included 42/5/6 after 48/3/11 as a junior. Experienced at cornerback and free safety.

POSITIVES: Well-sized defensive back best facing the action. Jams opponents at the line, slowing their release off the snap of the ball, fluid turning his hips and physical with receivers throughout the route. Displays an adequate break to the pass from his plant, shows good hands for the interception, and works to defend the throw.

NEGATIVES: Marginally instinctive and slow locating the pass in the air. Struggles making plays with his back to the ball.

ANALYSIS: Carey is a physically gifted prospect with outstanding measurables. He's been moderately successful on a small-school level and offers potential in the NFL as a dime back for a zone defense.

PROJECTION: Free Agent
