The 2023 NFL Draft features an exciting and diverse cornerback class, which is good news for any team in need of secondary help. There are corners of every size and shape to fit in any coverage scheme in the NFL.
But does that include Alabama’s Brian Branch?
Some evaluators have him as a part of the cornerback class, while others have him listed as a safety. Alabama used him all over their secondary, further muddying the waters of his evaluation.
The New York Giants call a “positionless” defense under Wink Martindale, and made great use of cornerback turned safety Julian Love in 2022.
