A hard-hitting defender with a nose for the ball, Prewitt has the instincts and tackling ability to book a long stay in the NFL.
A quick glance at the curly, black mane cascading over Cody Prewitt's shoulders draws the rather lazy comparison to another soft-spoken but hard-hitting safety: Troy Polamalu. But the similarities between the heart and soul of Ole Miss' aggressive defense and the recently-retired Steelers legend don't end there. Both are physical defenders who like to play close to the line of scrimmage and both rely on sixth sense-like instincts to perpetually disrupt offensive game plans and fill up the defensive stat sheet.
