Ball-hawking Hokie with NFL-sized instincts, but a speed question mark
In the 2021 season, Jermaine Waller was a true takeaway threat for Virginia Tech, starting all 11 games and tying for 10th in the FBS with four interceptions, while also producing 46 tackles, five pass breakups, and a pick-six. He’s at his best when the ball is in the air: competitive, confident, and productive in coverage. The catch? His NFL combine 40-yard dash was 4.68, which hints at a speed ceiling, and he also dealt with a foot injury in 2021. If your team wants a feisty, play-making DB who hunts turnovers, he fits; if you need pure recovery speed, tread carefully.
