The top cornerbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft, ranked

14 Min Read

The best corners in the NFL 2025 Draft class have a star potential, while the next pairs show the promise of players who will receive multiple contracts at the next level. This is a class that has the potential to be special when we remember it within a couple of years.

Normally, you would see a list of the ten best players in a position, but there were so many CBs that receive multiple votes, we have put the numbers from 11 to 20 on the list (but without blur). This is a deep corner class where we could see around 13-15 plays as soon as year 1.

20. Tommi Hill, Nebraska
19. Nohl Williams, California
18. Jabbar Muhammad, Oregon
17. ZY ALEXANDER, LSU
16. Bihal Kone, Western Michigan
15. ZAH Frazier, UTSA
14. Cobee Bryant, Kansas
13. Quincy Riley, Louisville
12. Dorian Strong, Virginia Tech
11. Jacob Parrish, state of Kansas

10. Denzel Burke, Ohio state

Burke mixed with a defense of the National Championship. He is a four -year -old senior who has never played his game at the next level, despite playing snapshots at the start level at each season. Last year, Burke allowed 63 percent of its goals to be complete to nine yards per target. Each of those numbers is poor.

Burke has a quick first step and is placed in a relatively good position in most of its goals, but I tend to avoid corners fighting to play the ball in the air. That is Burke.

9. Darien Porter, Iowa state

Porter is the wild card of this kind of corner.

Why didn’t Porter play anymore?
Why has a player who has been in a school for six seasons still makes primary mistakes?
Why one of the best draft athletes, regardless of its position, would you leave the field after making an interception?

There are more questions than answers for one of the most intriguing perspectives of the class, so it is ninth.

It is strange to say that a sixth year player needs training. It is more plausible than Porter who is at this time. On the other hand, Porter was an open receiver in the state of Owa before 2022. But oh man, those ups and downs are HIIIGH. Most humans cannot make the athletic feat that Porter is capable of or. It is not surprising that you have been in the 89th percentile or better in four differential categories in the NFL Combine.

There are “safer” players in class with much less projection. However, it is easy to see why a team would throw the dice to a player who oozes with the son of Porter athletics.

8. Azareeye’h Thomas, Florida state

Thomas was as high as sixth and as low as 10 in our classifications. He approaches the right in the average. Thomas is recorded in the eighth on the list is a will to the depth of this ranner.

We get to why it deserves to be in the first place or two below the best of the best. Thomas addresses as a former DB of the state of Florida in the late 80s. Thomas heads up to ball carriers as if he were abdominally in a pool. There will also be one or two plays per game where Thomas cuts the circuits and decides to protect the width braid receiver. It’s strange.

I will also turn a blind eye to that, if I had a corner of 6’1-1/2 “that had bigger hands than the 49ers All-Pro Warner supporter and changes directions like a Porsche maneuvering through the traffic of the peak hour.

In a goal line he vanished against Miami last season, Thomas put himself in a position to have two hands on the ball. There was a play against Duke where Thomas pressed a Blue Devils receiver a few meters outside the limits.

Thomas did not run on the professional day of the state of Florida. He is the son of the prospects teams who usually play at the end of the first round. Not being able to confirm your athletics can prevent Thomas from being selected in the Top 50.

There are no examples of opposite wide receptors that move away from Thomas when they have a step on it. Any question about your athletics answers a few seconds to see Thomas play. If you can teach you how to address, you are dealing with a luxury sports car.

7. Trey Amos, Mississippi

One of our voters places Amos among the top four, but barely reached the top 10 for another voter. Most of their votes arrived at seven.

Ole Miss Amos in a position to fail throughout the season, and he responded to the challenge again and again. There is not much to not like about the masters game.

I was predominantly in press coverage, so you can see everything from the recovery speed playing the ball in the air. You can say that masters will be challenged. Hey, did not shy away from talking after making a play or letting you know once he did.

Amos is the “stable eddie” or this class. You know what you are getting, he has a clear role in which he stands out, and if an NFL team uses it in the same way as the rebels, Amos will make this CB7 classification look silly.

6. Benjamin Morrison, Notre Dame

Morrison was in the top 20 of some simulated drafts before suffering a hip injury. He will work for professional explorers in Arizona a week before the draft.

It will be interesting to see how he tries, since Morrison was as blocked or a corner as it could. His role looked like Amas, since Notre Dame felt comfortable leaving Morrison to fend for herself.

Morrison allowed a 39 percent completion percentage in 26 objectives in 2024 and a percentage of 34 percent completion in 41 objectives in 2023, with three interceptions. It gets better.

As a true first -year student, Morrison gave a 31 percent completion percentage in 45 objectives, but had six interceptions. Duration in his career, Morrison broke 30 passes compared to allowing four touchdowns. I understand the injury, but if you have seen university football over the years, you know that Morrison has been as consistent as any player who plays his position. It is unlikely to change in the NFL.

5. Maxwell Hairson, Kentucky

Hairson is small, but he is absurdly proved, and moves as expected when you look at him. Trust its speed and do not give ground under the routes. The 4.28 40 appears in double movements or when it is time to turn and run. Hairson is more than a Speedster who plays a corner, but you ask you to go against better competition, or when they combine with the containers of 6’2 “more than 215 pounds that can overcome Hairson.

I am a little lower in Hairson than most, but I understand why the NFL teams could find him already their coverage skills. Hairson assured a third place vote in our classification, but also arrived in the eighth vote.

4. Shavon Revel Jr., East Carolina

If Revel did not leave an ACL injury, this is the selected players teams in the first round Every year.

Its weight height is every elite. Mark the three boxes. Against the state of the Apalaches, Revel Jr. had a pick-six that would be the first culminating point for 99 percent of the players. There are plays where the open receiver does not let the scrimmage line.

At its best, Revel Jr. is in front of the open receiver. Regardless of who the receiver is, I will take my chans that reveal will not only win, but find a way to put the pass in your hands.

I was as comfortable playing against coverage, which should come with more repetitions if necessary. On the other hand, Revel Jr. looks like a Top-15 when it is in press coverage. Professional advice: Let him press and be rewarded with a star.

3. Jahdae Barron, Texas

Barron tied with Shavon Revel for most third place votes, but surpassed his colleague with fourth vows.

Barron has 5’10-3/4 “and 194 pounds, both placing it below the 40-8” arms of Barron are in the third percentile, which could scare the teams. But he ran a 4.39 40 yards race, which will make you forget everything about his measurables.

Barron has played snapshots in each of the last three years. Last season, it had four interceptions, seven pass ruptures and opposite resources limited to a rating of 38 pins.

Barron was a slot corner in 2023 and moved tiring last season, where he played 500 or his 739 snapshots. If you are going to take such an early corner, not only needs to have athletics of blue chips, but it is better that it has a high -end film. Barron does it.

We launched the Draft season of the clichés as “instincts”, but Barron lives around the ball. It is much more physical than one would expect, and can be primed to quartbacks in errors. The fifth year senior would be a Plug-And-Play initiator.

2. Will Johnson, Michigan

Johnson was our unanimous selection as the second best corner in the draft.

Johnson is out of view of this class. It does not lose in coverage. And when he does, the chances of completing that 30 -yard pass outside the number are again intelligent. The teams tried and failed. Johnson showed for three years that throwing him is a silly.

Duration in his career, Johnson gave a touchdown in 100 goals at the university. The teams tried to be cute and the double movements ran after failing in everything else. There are no sustainable ways to overcome Johnson. I have never seen it and I thought: “His speed hurt at the next level.”

Johnson is one of the best prospects of this class, regardless of his position.

1. Travis hinter, Colorado

Hunter was our unanimous choice for the best corner in the draft. It is easily the most unique player in the draft. Hunter has the highest floor and ceiling of any player in any draft position, which comfortably makes it the best draft player.

Hunter only weighed 188 pounds, but his play force resembles someone from 10 to 15 pounds heavier. But if you are going to be the best dog, it is better that you have a transcendent feature.

If we were talking about open receptors, I would say that Hunter had the ball skills of a member of the Hall of Fame. I know that we are not supposed to compare the players with the families hall, but the way Hunter tracks, the high points and catch the ball reminds me of me or Larry Fitzgerald. Yes, there is no pressure.

Now imagine the defensive version of that. Hunter found ways to get involved in the work. He is a player, but that generally leads to positive results for defense. In 80 objectives, Hunter allowed a percentage of completion or 46 percent. He had four interceptions in 2024, but he could double that with the frequency with which Hunter found a way to put the ball in his hands.

It is a superstar.
