Chiefs draft profile: Davison Igbinosun would bring impressive tools to KC secondary

We all know the Chiefs' reputation with corners, and they've earned it. They continue to overachieve in developing quality corners who can be role players and even starters. With the Chiefs, we know the type of corners they love—long, physical corners that are willing run supporters and competitive at the catch point. At times, this can be a positive, and other times it can create some issues. Chiefs corners historically have struggled getting interceptions and with penalties. Davis Igbinosun is the best and worst of both worlds.

Igbinosun is a tall, rangy cornerback who combines speed with the competitive mentality NFL coaches value in press-man coverage. If he can cut down on his tendency to grab and instead rely more on his technique, he could be another reliable outside corner for the Chiefs on Day 2.

Davison Igbinosun's strengths

Frame and Physicality

Nice long athlete with 33-inch arms (93rd percentile), great size for the position, allows him to be physical at the line of scrimmage and at the catch point.

Tackling

Strong tackler who rarely missed tackles and was always willing to stick his nose into the run game as well. Actually was moved into the box at times and placed at safety as well.

Twitchty

4.45 speed on the 40-yard dash, solid recovery speed, and great closing speed. Plays the ball well in the air as well.

Davison Igbinosun's weaknesses

Penalties

Practiced with oven mitts on to prevent grabbing; 30 penalties in his four-year career.

Rigid

More of a straight-line athlete; the athletic testing for lateral agility was average at best. Might struggle against quick and shifty route runners.

Ball Production

Only 4 career interceptions and 19 passes defended in 48 career games played.

How Davison Igbinosun fits with the Chiefs

Igbinosun would be an ideal outside corner to learn behind Kristian Fulton and Nohl Williams. He has lots of tools the Chiefs like and would be ideal in their press-heavy and Cover 3-man scheme. His willingness to tackle and support the run will be attractive to the Chiefs. They've dealt with plenty of corners that struggle with getting grabby before, and the lack of ball production is nothing new either. Overall, this is the type of cover corner the Chiefs get the most out of.

Davison Igbinosun is a long, physical corner who thrives in press-man coverage, using his length, toughness, and instincts to disrupt routes and compete at the catch point while holding up well in run support. His grabby style leads to penalties and inconsistent discipline in coverage. With a lean frame, average top-end explosiveness, and some stiffness in transitions, he projects best in a scheme that emphasizes press coverage while continuing to refine his technique and ball production.

Round Grade: Red Chip (3rd round Grade)
