Is he projected as a safety or corner?

he will be out of the league in 2-3 years. Not good enough to play corner and not an elite safety either. Good luck to him

He also recorded a 6.86 in the three-cone drill, 4.00 in the 20 yard shuttle, and 11.53 in the 60 yard shuttle, all of which were towards the top of this class.

He also started for 4 years at DBU... so, yeah.

Joe Haden ran a 4.57.

Jalen has the hips, athleticism, size, strength, and ball skills to be a fine safety or slot corner in the league.

Rich Sherman ran a 4.6 and josh Normans 40 was even slower. He'll be just fine. That injury was a pretty good setback tho.

Josh Norman ran a 4.66 at the combine. Not saying he's JN, but don't get caught up with 40s.

It's really not even that terrible. It's obviously not good but if it's a 4.59 it doesn't look nearly as bad. If he can break into the 4.5s at pro day he should be fine.

As has been said, Mills was a solid player for LSU, but nothing more. He was never great, like some want to believe, but never terrible, like others want to believe.

I see his NFL career being very similar to Tharold Simon's.


ETA: I was never a big fan of Mills, but I think he can be a solid 3rd or 4th corner in the league. Also, he can be a good special teams player.

I wonder if he feels like he should've left last year now. He was mocked in the first in some mock drafts.

Not a great time...but all other measurables were in good shape. He turned A LOT of heads at the senior bowl. Dude was lights out. He will be fine...
