Makari Vickers brings length, fluid coverage, and comeback grit to Colorado
In the 2025 season, Makari Vickers emerged as a rangy, physical Colorado DB with cornerback length, smooth hips, and the recovery speed to stay attached in coverage. His reputation is built more on upside than gaudy stat lines: he was a top-30 cornerback transfer portal recruit, and evaluators praise his route recognition, burst out of his backpedal, and willingness to challenge routes. The big context? He returned after heart surgery in 2025, which makes his availability and resilience a real part of the story. If you want upside, toughness, and long-term starting traits, he’s a very intriguing fit.
