Strengths: Solid height with room to gain weight Competitive Comfortable in press man coverage Sticks his man well Understands how to re-route receivers Will take on a block Wraps up well Great ball skills Good short area quickness Good recovery speed Playmaker Very instinctive; anticipates routes very well Durable Leader Has some upside
Weaknesses: Must gain more weight at the next level Ran a mediocre 40 time at 2008 Kentucky Pro Day (4.53) Timed speed might be questionable Gives up inside leverage occasionally Not very zone-aware Needs to jam receivers better on line of scrimmage
Summary: Lindley is a very talented player who makes plays, and he will gain the muscle mass he needs in the pros so that is not a big concern to me. What is a big concern is his potentially average timed speed because teams do value this highly at the cornerback position. Has No. 1 cornerback potential in NFL. Easily the best senior corner in the country and it probably isn't even close.
Player Comparison: Corey Webster. Both corners are most comfortable in press coverage and have the athleticism to play bump and run.
