The Carolina Panthers surprised many experts and went to the FCS with the selection of Samford cornerback James Bradberry with the #62 pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Bradberry is a former Arkansas State defensive back that made the move to FCS program Samford so that he could continue playing cornerback. He was named to the First Team All-Southern Conference squad as a senior. The Alabama native is an active run stopper, not afraid to get in the mix and take down ball carriers at or behind the line of scrimmage.
He has excellent size for a cornerback prospect at 6-1, 211 pounds.
