Damon Arnette Overview<\/b><\/p>\n
Position: <\/b>Cornerback NFL Combine Performance Data<\/b><\/p>\n 40 Yard Dash: <\/b>4.56 seconds<\/span> As a senior for Florida\u2019s Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas High School, Arnette helped lead his team to a state championship. The three-star prospect received numerous offers from teams such as Michigan, South Carolina, Wisconsin, and Florida State before committing to play for the Buckeyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Arnette was a four-year starter for Ohio State and received instant playing time as a true freshman in 2016, appearing in 13 games and totaling 21 tackles along with an interception. Arnette quickly became a key contributor to a dominant Buckeyes program as he finished his collegiate career with 53 games played, 140 total tackles, and five interceptions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n NFL Comparison: Kyle Fuller<\/a><\/b> \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Teams With Need at Position: <\/b>San Francisco 49ers<\/a>, Chicago Bears<\/a>, Denver Broncos<\/a>, Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>, Dallas Cowboys<\/a>, Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>, Atlanta Falcons<\/a>, Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>, Detroit Lions<\/a>, Carolina Panthers<\/a>, Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>, New Orleans Saints<\/a>, Minnesota Vikings<\/a><\/p>\n Projection: <\/b>Mid second to early third round<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n While Arnette does not possess any outstanding qualities on film, he does a lot of things very well and does not have any glaring holes in his game. Furthermore, despite Arnette\u2019s athleticism not being off the charts, he certainly has NFL level speed, acceleration, and body control. Additionally, Arnette is an extremely versatile player as he frequently excelled in man, zone, and press coverage for the Buckeyes last season. <\/span><\/p>\n One aspect of Arnette\u2019s game which NFL teams will love is his physicality in coverage along with his willingness to contribute in run support. While Arnette could use more discipline in coverage at times, his length along with physicality will enable him to match up well with bigger receiving targets. <\/span><\/p>\n Given Arnette\u2019s versatile skill set and athleticism, his usage at the next level will largely depend on the team\u2019s defensive scheme, but he should be able to fit in regardless. Arnette is not on the same level as recent Ohio State defensive backs such as <\/span>Jeff Okudah<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>Denzel Ward<\/a><\/b>, <\/span>Marshon Lattimore<\/a><\/b>, and <\/span>Malik Hooker<\/a><\/b>, but he projects as a valuable NFL caliber starting corner. <\/span><\/p>\n Main photo:
