We continue our 2025 NFL Draft preview of draft prospects that could interest the Dallas Cowboys. Today we are looking at cornerback Shavon Revel out of East Carolina.
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 194-lbs
Arm Length: 32 5/8”
Hand Size: 9 5/8”
Strengths:
+ Big frame that oozes length
+ Showcases impressive athleticism on tape pre-ACL tear
+ Impressive closing speed and burst to close windows in a hurry
+ Impressive instincts in zone coverage to read quarterbacks body language and eyes
+ Stays attached to receivers hip when carrying routes vertically
+ Uses arm length well to break up passes and take the football away
+ Showed very little panic with his back to the football
+ High-character guy that competes until the final whistle
Weaknesses:
- Still on the recovery trail from torn ACL suffered early in the 2024 season
- Very limited action as a full-time starter at East Carolina
- Will need to add strength to match NFL power in the run game and at receiver
- Despite his size and length, his game translates better to zone-heavy schemes
- Can play high in his pedal leading to clunky transitions
- Can be a bit tentative when stepping up in run support
- Limited reps against NFL talent
- Very little experience playing in the slot
Round Grade:
2nd
Overall Summary:
If not for the torn ACL suffered three games into the 2024 season, we probably would be talking about East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel as a first-round lock.
