Pros

• Man Coverage
  Smooth mover that can pedal and break or play in the hip pocket of pass catchers
• Hand Timing
  Can disrupt passes earning PBU’s as he plays the pocket with excellent timing
• Recovery Speed
  Alignment indicates that he can carry vertical releases and stay glued to the WR in obvious deep-shot situations

Cons

• Play strength
  Isn’t the most physical and can be exploited in the run game
• Catch Point
  Struggles to win at in contested catch situations, losing battles to bigger or more physical players
• Awareness
  Can let plays get by him that more instinctual corners wouldn’t

Eval:

Pritchett is a pesky corner that aligns in tight spacings, daring wideouts to win deep. He presented a mix of vertical and underneath coverage ability that staunched many of the SEC’s receivers. His length and agility will make him a considerable prospect as we approach the draft.

Floor Comp: Coby Bryant

Functional corner best suited to play pure coverage. 

Ceiling Comp: James Bradberry

Tenured corner who sticks thanks to his ability to match WRs.
