Chris Harris Jr.
CB (8) — Chris Harris Jr., Bradley Roby, Tramaine Brock, Brendan Langley, Isaac Yiadom, C.J. Smith, Michael Hunter, Marcus Rios Ht: 5-11 1/4 Wt: 191.5 40: 4.49 Vert: 36 20-yard shuttle: 4.21

With the exception of some poor numbers from Marcus Rios and C.J. Smith at this position, the Broncos are exceptionally fast and athletic at the cornerback position.

If it weren’t for the near-4.6 times in the 40-yard dash from Smith and Rios, the Broncos’ composite score here might be closer to 4.4 than 4.5.

The average size at this position of nearly 6-feet tall and 192 pounds is about the ideal you look for in a cornerback if just a hair below the NFL prototype.

There are not many odd outliers in this group, except for the size of Isaac Yiadom. At 6-foot-2, he is the biggest player in this position group and one of the biggest the Broncos have drafted in the John Elway era.

Bradley Roby’s 20-yard shuttle time of 4.03 is unbelievable, and he also boasts the fastest 40-time in this group at 4.39.
