Draft Profile: Notre Dame Cornerback Troy Pride Jr.
23 January 2020 DRAFT
Troy Pride Jr. 2020 NFL Draft Profile
Measureables: 5’11” 200 LBs
Notre Dame had a great one in Troy Pride Jr. He is 4 year senior who really was a corner stone in their defense. He has great size, instincts, and IQ, but his speed is what sets him apart. He says he wants to run a 4.2 40 so we better watch for that. He is a high character guy and has been consistently improving every year. Projected in the second round, he will be a steal for whoever lands him. So far at Senior Bowl Practices, he’s been the standout at CB.
