Pre-draft profile

Revel has the tools you're looking for in a top cornerback prospect. The East Carolina product has great size with long arms and plenty of speed. He plays with good instincts and recognition in off-man and zone assignments, and he's got the physicality to excel in press-man coverage. The aggressiveness is also evident in the run game, where he's a plus contributor on the edge. Revel may have some trouble matching the short-area quickness of smaller, shiftier receivers, and he could stand to improve when it comes to turning and finding the ball in downfield coverage. The jump in competition from the AAC is also worth considering, as is his ongoing recovery from a torn ACL suffered in September. You can't teach these kinds of traits, though. Given some time to develop, Revel could become a No. 1 corner.
