Tulane’s ball-hawking, track-speed corner with NFL pedigree
Nickerson stands out as a **speed-driven, playmaking corner** who built his Tulane reputation on takeaways and tight coverage, finishing his college career with **16 interceptions** and **31 passes defended** while reportedly running a **4.32 40-yard dash** at the 2018 combine.[4][5] He’s the kind of defender who can change a game with range and anticipation, but his profile is more about quickness, instincts, and special-teams value than sheer size. For a team looking for a veteran DB who competes hard and fits a fast, aggressive secondary, he’s a credible fit.[2][8]
