What the analysts are saying

• "While he plays with good toughness and has good athletic traits, his ability to stay connected in coverage has been problematic. Inconsistencies in man coverage combined with a smallish frame are a concern in my opinion, but his combination of long speed and short area quickness has him rising up the board." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "Maddox's tenacity and short-area quickness coupled with his less-than-ideal measurements earmark him as an NFL nickel corner, and he'll make life miserable for whomever he faces in the slot." - Brent Sobleski, Bleacher Report
