NFL lockout: Top UDFA defensive backs

by Dan Kadar on Jul 24, 2011 10:00 PM EDT

With the NFL lockout coming to an end soon, undrafted players from the 2011 NFL Draft will finally be able to sign with teams. This weekend we've looked at some of the top available players your team may be considering.

Kendric Burney | 5'9, 190 pounds | CB | North Carolina
Burney likely went undrafted due to his size and poor 40-yard dash times. On the field, Burney projects as a solid cover-2 cornerback where he can rely on his instincts.

DeAndre McDaniel | 6'0, 212 pounds | SS | Clemson
A do-it-all safety who can make plays all over the field. Is pretty strong against the run. At Clemson, McDaniel was frequently asked to cover the slot receiver so he should be useful in nickel formations.

Deunta Williams | 6'2, 210 pounds | FS | North Carolina
It wasn't the suspension at UNC that caused him to go undrafted, it was a broken leg that kept him out of workouts. Williams is a good coverage safety with excellent hands to make a play on the ball.

I'm still amazed Burney didn't get a 7th round flyer

I expect a good ST impact early wherever he goes and possible some nickel/dime CB looks if the team he goes to lacks CB depth. Probably more of a career nickel but he has high potential for such a role. I think he’s the “prize” of the UDFA’s

If you reply to a comment/post/fanshot of mine, I will more likely then not respond to it, unless you come off like a d-bag.
