Chalil Cummings brings real ball-production upside to Purdue’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Purdue DB Chalil Cummings appeared in nine games and posted 3 tackles with 2 passes defended, including two pass breakups at Minnesota, a nice little calling card for a young corner who played both wide receiver and cornerback in high school. His appeal is less about gaudy counting stats and more about versatility, quick-flash coverage skills, and an intriguing athletic background that helped him earn a three-star recruiting profile. If a team wants a developmental DB with toughness, special-teams value, and room to grow into a bigger role, Cummings looks like a smart fit.
