Redzone Combine Atlanta: WR/DB's That Impressed

<p>These events always have the athletes show up in the WR/DB category and last Saturday in Atlanta was no different. Below are 6 of the best that caught my eye as I made my rounds watching the testing, group, and 1v1 competition. </p>   <p><strong>'26 [player_tooltip player_id='401558' first='Tim' last='Sims']</strong></p>   <p>The 6'0 188 Lovejoy DB made the biggest impression on me on the day and is my personal choice as my Overall MVP. I'm a sucker for metrics and Sims delivered. He posted the longest broad jump among all participants at 10'8. He tied for 1st in the 40 with a hand timed 4.52 and won the competition at the end of the event in a footrace between the 4 fastest 40 runners. During the group testing he showed a good footwork and outstanding flexibility when changing direction. If you skipped lunch as a WR your in trouble verse this guy. He locked receivers up at the line of scrimmage and the few times he was beat he recovered well and used his reach to disrupt the play. Sims is a new name for me on the recruiting scene and one I will be closely following this Fall. Has an early Tulane offer. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TimSimsfb/status/1784616712660226472 </div></figure>   <p><strong>'27 [player_tooltip player_id='942242' first='Malikai' last='Speed']</strong></p>   <p>The rising Sophomore at Walton was one of the youngest competitors in the field but showed out, earning WR MVP. Officially measured out at 5'8 151. Measured out Top 5% in all the metric categories. He posses that "twitch" and can shake defenders with ease. During 1v1's he caught a few contested balls just by being more physical than the defender. Great hands in traffic and uses his athleticism to out jump taller DBs. Is a member of Region winning 4x100 relay team at Walton. This freshman has a huge upside that is developing in an outstanding high school program. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MalikaiSpeed/status/1784644178212770081 </div></figure>   <p><strong>'26 [player_tooltip player_id='854249' first='Damyon' last='Pearson']</strong></p>   <p>The 2026 Brookwood prospect is smooth at the DB position. Was outstanding in the testing with the best L-Cone and 5-10-5 shuttle times among the DB group. Very polished in his footwork and stood out in the group drills. Good 1v1 coverage DB that was hard to shake in competition. Physical kid that wasn't afraid of contact and was very good at ball awareness. Has natural instincts at the position and received an offer from Central Michigan earlier this Spring. Good upside with 2 full high school seasons left to develop.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/404Dayy/status/1785326996513276185 </div></figure>   <p><strong>'25 [player_tooltip player_id='514070' first='Hunter' last='Green']</strong></p>   <p>The West Forsyth rising Senior is not built like your stereotypical WR at 6'1.5 243. The broad shouldered solid guy is one you think is headed to the DE grouping but he made his way to the WRs. Outstanding metrics, probably the best pound for pound numbers at the event. Had the 3rd longest broad jump at 10'4. Recorded a 4.00 5-10-5 and a 6.70 in the L-Cone which were some of the top times in the group. Good route runner in the 1v1's, often shaking off smaller DBs, and has good hands. It was fun listening to the other campers chant "Gronk" on his receptions. Green is kind of an inbetweener for a lot of positions but has the athletic ability to play at the next level. If the fullback position comes back in vogue, lookout!</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/NwGaFootball/status/1784287150386606088 </div></figure>   <p><strong>'27 [player_tooltip player_id='1201849' first='Julian' last='Elzey'] </strong></p>   <p>The 5'11 168 Parkview prospect has potential written all over him. We saw Elzey live a few months back when he won MVP at the NEGA Freshman All Star Game. He carried it over to this weekend. Outstanding in coverage and has natural instincts at the DB position. Tested out Top 5% in the metric categories. Athletic guy that can help you on both side of the ball. He has already picked up an offer from UConn and will be a highly sought after P4 recruit before his time at Parkview is done. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JulianElzey/status/1784387333128675468 </div></figure>   <p><strong>'26 [player_tooltip player_id='1116919' first='CJ' last='Dockery']</strong></p>   <p>The 6'1 190 Prince Ave Christian prospect is nice tall target with good hands. He has the speed to go over the top of the defense. Has that "twitch" to shake defenders and it's hard to out jump him on contested balls. Had close to 1000 yards receiving last year for State Champs and is a double-double threat on the basketball court. Tough to defend, especially at the high school level. Look for Dockery to put up big numbers this year on the field and pick up a lot more attention at the next level. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/thecjdockery/status/1784349409628557806 </div></figure>   <p></p>   <p><strong>'25 Reshod Curtis</strong></p>   <p>The rising Senior at Newton has a solid build at 5'10 175 and was able to out physical some guys for some balls. Good hands in traffic and doesn't shy away from contact. Great at tracking the ball and adjusting his body to make the catch. Tested well in the metric with a 9'11 broad jump and 6.8 L-Cone. All Region performer last season at Newton and has garnered interest from several D1 programs. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ReshodCurtisjr_/status/1784719424219484449 </div></figure>   <p><strong>'27 [player_tooltip player_id='1258729' first='Corneil' last='Mills']</strong></p>   <p>Mills will be a rising sophomore at Central Gwinnett in the Fall. He has a long frame with a 72 inch wing span and stands 5'11 153. Still a little raw but showed good footwork in the group session and was able to use his reach to break up some passes during the 1v1 competition. Has good body control and is a natural athlete that can rotate his hips and change direction quickly. Big upside for this Freshman. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/d1_corneil/status/1760500704764903929 </div></figure>
