Chamarri Conner has been a playmaker in the Virginia Tech secondary over the last few seasons since becoming a starter in 2019. He’s been a prototype ROVER prospect, someone who can play multiple coverages and still presents some upside to grow into. Conner has a lot of work to do in man coverage but can be a valuable player in a heavy zone scheme.

Pros:

• Excellent speed. Really impressed with some of what he displays. 
• Shows good lateral quickness. Sets contain well. 
• Very well built upper body. 
• Change of direction is good, not great. 
• Good wrap up technique, attacks the waist of the ball carrier. Can deliver some serious hit power. 
• Reliable space defender. 
• Good pursuit angles, especially in space. Plays very well downhill into the box. 
• Times his rushes well and was oftentimes utilized as a rusher. 

Cons:

• Struggles with position in 1v1 coverage. Doesn’t really contest the catch point. Surrenders too much space. 
• Lacks a lot of physicality while working downfield.
