With the 2025 NFL Draft fast approaching, we’re breaking down the top prospects at every position. Here’s a full scouting report on East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr.:
Vitals
- Height: 6’2”
- Weight: 202 lbs
- Age: 24
Strengths
Revel immediately stands out thanks to his impressive size and length—traits that are highly coveted at the cornerback position. His long frame enables him to play with noticeable physicality, both when pressing receivers at the line and contesting catches downfield. He’s adept at using his arms to disrupt routes early and guide receivers where he wants them to go. Despite his size, he possesses the speed to stay stride-for-stride with receivers, consistently staying close enough to challenge every throw.
What sets Revel apart even more is his mindset. He plays with a swagger and intensity that top-tier corners often have, always acting like every ball thrown his way belongs to him. His footwork and movement are also smoother and more efficient than what you typically see from taller corners.
Weaknesses
The primary concern surrounding Revel is health. A knee injury sidelined him for most of the 2024 season, and his medical evaluations during the pre-draft process will heavily influence where he’s selected. There’s no guarantee he’ll return to full form, which could make some teams cautious.
Additionally, his aggressive style—which worked well in college—may result in more penalties at the pro level. His physicality at the line and through the catch could draw flags more frequently in the NFL.
