Physical, NFL-Ready USC Corner With Ball Skills
Blackmon is a tough, scheme-versatile corner who earned a third-round NFL selection after showing steady production and playmaking at USC, including 50 tackles, 5 pass breakups, an interception, and a fumble recovery in 2021. He stands out for his competitive intensity, willingness to tackle, and balance of speed and length for a 5'11", 178-pound defender, with a 4.47-second 40-yard dash cited at the combine. His value is in reliability, versatility, and an edge in run support—good fit for a team that wants a disciplined DB who can compete immediately rather than just flash in coverage.
