Mike Hughes NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Minnesota Vikings' Pick

POSITIVES

—Dominated at UCF in 2017 as a cornerback and return man with excellent speed and toughness.

—Very strong player on the field and in drills. Repped out 20 times in the bench press.

—Scary good return man who can impact the game as a punt and kickoff returner.

—Handles short-area quickness well and is strong enough to get physical at the line to redirect routes.

—Tough dude who won't back down from any challenge.

—Easy athleticism shows him moving well in space both as a corner and return man.

NEGATIVES

—Originally signed at North Carolina but was dismissed after a sexual assault allegation that did not yield criminal charges; landed at Garden City Community College before playing one season at UCF.
