The 2023 NFL Draft features a fantastic collection of cornerbacks. We could see as many as a dozen starters drafted in the first 100 picks, but few of these corners stand out the way that Kansas State’s Julius Brents does.
Standing 6-foot 2 3⁄4 inches, Brents is a big cornerback with rare length. He also has legitimately rare explosiveness, even among elite cornerback prospects.
The New York Giants were very interested in the corners at the top of the 2022 NFL Draft. And while they were able to make due at the cornerback position in 2022, but nobody would want to try their luck with back-ups and street free agents again.
