Height/Weight: 6-0, 192
2018 stats: 12 games played, 2 interceptions
Draft Projection: 1st-3rd round

The Detroit Lions added two veteran cornerbacks in free agency in Justin Coleman and Rashaan Melvin. However, Melvin is on a one-year deal, and Coleman is primarily a slot corner, leaving the door open for a young, athletic defensive back to patrol the outside. Enter Temple’s Rock Ya-Sin.

Ya-Sin, (given name Abdurrahman Ibn Ya-Sin) transferred from small Presbyterian College in South Carolina to Temple for his senior year.
