Shavon Revel, Jr. | CB | East Carolina
Height: 6’3″
Weight: 193 lbs
Draft Projection: Late 1st
Notable Accomplishment: 2023 Second Team All-AAC
Pros: Revel got off to a strong start in the 2023 season, recording 2 interceptions and 2 pass breakups in just 3 games. Despite some early doubts about his ball skills, his 2023 film proves those concerns were unfounded. While he missed a few opportunities to catch the ball, he still displayed impressive playmaking abilities, finishing the season with 1 interception and 12 pass breakups. Even after recovering from a significant injury, his athleticism stands out. His size and speed provide him with CB1 potential, and his physicality near the line of scrimmage makes him tough for receivers to handle. He excels at forcing receivers off their route path, particularly on verticals, and he’s able to stay with them on contested catches. Revel also shows impressive fluidity and change-of-direction ability in one-on-one coverage, especially in the middle of the field, where he can cover even the most agile receivers.
Cons: The primary concern for Revel is his torn ACL, which ended his 2024 season early. His medical evaluation at the combine will be crucial in determining his draft stock. On the field, Revel can occasionally struggle with open-field tackles, often coming in too high on attempts. At his height, lowering his pads could be a challenge, but with focused coaching, this is an area that can be improved. Additionally, Revel’s read-and-react skills aren’t the sharpest, which can lead to him being a step slow in zone coverage situations.
Overview: Revel’s injury makes him a risky first-round pick, but for a team that runs a lot of man coverage, he has the potential to develop into a shutdown corner early in his career. If his combine medical reports are positive, he should remain a strong first-round prospect.
