A four-year contributor at Delaware, Nasir Adderley, 21, started his career at cornerback before switching to safety as a junior. Compiled 11 interceptions in his time with the Blue Hens and is thought of as a “center field” safety at the next level. Adderley didn’t work out at the combine because of a high ankle sprain, which he played through at the Senior Bowl, but then he pulled up with a hamstring injury during a 40-yard dash at his pro day. Has experience as a return man on special teams, which could add value to his portfolio.

What the analysts say

“Defensive back with good size and length, but tape that is filled with inconsistencies over the last couple of years. Adderley’s issues revolve around inconsistencies with recognition and response as a safety, which is why teams might opt to move him back to cornerback where his size, athletic ability and ball skills will be coveted.” – Lance Zierlein, NFL.com

“One of the most exciting things about being a draft evaluator is finding players like Adderley that you never expected to be anything special, yet they blow you away on tape. The toughest thing about Adderley’s evaluation was finding a weakness, as he appears to be a top-notch athlete with exceptional short-area quickness and fluidity, while also possessing the ability to open up and cover ground with speed and range as a single-high safety.” – Jon Ledyard, The Draft Network

What PFF says
