    He has a long ways to go in terms of technique and strength.

    Most track stars have similar builds and times, but that doesn't mean they would be good at football.

    I would agree with what maizeandblue21 said. Lot of "potential" with Dawson so he's definitely a project.

  • Looks to have a similar build to Conley. Clint, can you comment on what the two prospects have in common and what sets Conley apart from Dawson?

    Sure. Based off their film, Conley seems a little more polished with a hair quicker in his reactions. Conley has better footwork and is simply more polished in the nuances of the position. As I alluded to in his analysis, not many cornerbacks possess the size, athleticism that Dawson has. Dawson is bigger and faster than Conley with more of an upside. There is a premium on bigger defensive backs like Dawson these days, which are trending in the NFL as you can see.

    Thanks Clint. One common thing I heard regarding Conley, even when he was committed to Michigan, was that he was a "long strider" similar to Steve Breaston. Some people said he had more potential on offense because that style of running could be tough on a corner in college. Any comments on that and if Dawson is similar or not?

    Dawson isn't a long strider
