CORNERBACK
Brendan is the fleetest corner back! He shows quick feet and
smooth backpedal when on the line of scrimmage. He throttles
down efficiently on comebacks and curls, limiting wasted steps
and breaking back towards the ball well.

He uses leverage well by getting underneath the pads of the
receiver to jam him and disrupt routes.
Quicker than fast, he can accelerate quickly and operate
effectively in a zone; played well in Cover 2 zone from the
limited tape available.
Brendon gained lots of interest during the recruiting process,
indicating that he is a solid and ultimate athlete. Brandon
overcame much adversity in his upbringing, and seems to truly
love the game. Are you ready for a tremendous motor?
