Ourlads' Profile:
2015 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about RONALD DARBY: Florida State, 5105 194 4.37. Junior entry and three-year starter from Oxon Hill, MD. Elite speed and movement ability in space. Has all the catch up and recovery speed that a corner needs. Physically put together well, very strong and muscular. Plays with power and aggression. Can get his hands on receivers at the point of attack and redirect. Quick downhill explosion to make plays on the ball. Good balance and stability, can control his body while tracking the ball. Good awareness and reaction to the action around him. Effective blitzer and run defender. Closes a short gap with explosiveness and power. Willing and aggressive to stick his nose in the action. While he may be among the fastest players in the nation, he needs to refine the vital components to the position like ball skills, footwork, and back pedal. Lacks a refined skill set. Doesn’t turn his hips and explode out of his break as fast as his athleticism says he should. Will easily be fooled by double move routes and play action passes. Lacks the decision making necessary to play in zone coverage. Too much of a guesser, will gamble a lot. Can get sloppy downfield and get too grabby. A lot of false steps. Hard hands, doesn’t see the ball in. Has had a series of hamstring issues. 2014 stats: 43 T, 1 FF, 4 PBU. BTR:left 5.09, right 4.88. OSR:2/31. Second/third round. (A-31 3/8, H-8 5/8, VJ-41.5, SS-4.14).
