| Mike
Mickens CB Cincinnati # |
| Ht:
6'0
Wt: 184
| |
| Strengths: |
| Ideal height for the position. Very
good speed and overall athleticism. Has the ability to turn and run with just
about any receiver. Very fluid in man coverage. Excellent leaping ability. Decent
ball skills; school's all-time leader in interceptions (14). |
| Weaknesses:
|
| Undersized. Physical
with smaller receivers, but backs down from taller, stronger assignments. Not
much of a help in run support. Gives a limited effort to shed blocks and chase
the ball carrier. Underwent knee surgery in November 2008. |
| Comments:
|
| Mickens' draft stock
relies heavily on his ability to recover from knee surgery. He looked like a potential
2nd round pick during the season, but the injury may cause him to fall to the
3rd or 4th round. |
