Caleb Farley

A strong and smooth CB prospect that has the chance to be great in the NFL. Incredibly sticky in man coverage at all levels of the field. Able to read the eyes of the receiver and stay glued to them essentially at all times. Good in zone coverage as well and shows a proficiency in being able to quickly diagnose and read the eyes of the QB. Also instructing other DBs around him where to go pre-snap when it's zone. Excellent change of direction for a DB of his size. Able to stick with receivers that are smaller and quicker, but can easily flip his hips and run with them. Doesn't willingly engage in run defense all that often, but shows toughness through the contact he plays with deep downfield. It occasionally gets him into trouble, but it also results in some great pass defense highlights. Good ability to get his hands in and knock the ball free and natural hands to be able to reel in turnovers. Always in the right position to make a play on the ball. Good lateral mobility and keeps his feet under him when dropping back into pass coverage. Tremendous speed and agility. He'll be able to keep up with most receivers all over the field and can flip his hips and get up to full speed quickly if a receiver is showing a Go route. Overall, a talented prospect that should be off the board within the first 10 picks of the 2021 NFL Draft. Has a chance to be a true lockdown corner for a NFL franchise.

Caleb Farley selected No. 22 by Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans have selected cornerback Caleb Farley with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

The Tennessee Titans' willingness to exercise patience has resulted in another draft day steal. Caleb Farley is a physical corner with great size and speed. He has all the tools of a future number one corner and may very well have been the first defensive back off the board if not for recent back surgery. Farley may not make much of a rookie year impact but will form an exciting cornerback duo of the future with Kristian Fulton. Farley is a top-10 talent in the 2021 NFL Draft class. The rich get richer.
