Storm Duck is a prospect that we are super upset about, and of no fault of his own. In the 2 games we watched from 2023, Duck played probably 50% of snaps against Kentucky, but next to nothing against ND. If Louisville thought they had two corners better fine, but we are telling you Duck could’ve started for many other schools at CB. He’s got stuff to clean up and get better at no doubt, but he’s a really good coverage prospect. Good in man and zone, press or off, and he’s got good footwork that helps him break on route and mirror receivers. Not to mention he’s aggressive against blockers and wants to be involved in the run game. We believe he should be taken on Day 3, but due to lack of snaps this year it feels more likely that he’s going to end up a UDFA.
