<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you are looking to improve your stock or garner more attention from college scouts, now is the time to sign up for Denvers Exposure Series for April 25th. Use Code: RobertDavis10 for a discount and come show up and show out! Today we will be taking a look at some 2028 DB prospects that are looking to increase their stock this offseason. These are the names that you will need to know as they look to turn heads and pop onto the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2161059"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69d7ca4fa59a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lightfoot is a physical defensive back who brings a strong presence near the line of scrimmage while still maintaining effectiveness in coverage. He shows the ability to step into the box and meet ball carriers with authority, consistently laying big hits on ball carriers and limiting extra yardage. His production reflects his impact, finishing with 51 total tackles and three interceptions, along with a scoop and score that shows his ability to capitalize on opportunities. Lightfoot shows good speed and awareness, allowing him to stay in position against receivers and challenge passes effectively. He plays with confidence in coverage, staying tight to his assignment and using his instincts to disrupt plays. His combination of physicality and ball skills makes him a prospect you need to know. With continued development and exposure, Lightfoot has the potential to emerge as a must recruit defensive back in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2167668"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69d7ca4fa5a3c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robson is a defensive back who stands out for his awareness and ability to read plays as they develop. He shows strong vision quickly reading his keys and reacting to the football, helping him to consistently be in position to make plays. Robson recorded 43 total tackles, along with a tackle for loss and a sack, showing his ability to contribute across multiple areas. He is effective at shedding blocks and working his way to the ball carrier, showing a willingness to engage and slow down plays. His high motor and ability to close the gap in space makes him a reliable presence in the secondary. Robson's versatility adds value, as he can contribute in both coverage and run support. With continued development and increased exposure, he is a prospect who could draw attention from college programs looking for a dependable defensive back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2167669"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69d7ca4fa5abb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Modrzejewski brings added value as a defensive back who can also impact the game on special teams. His ability as a returner was on display with a touchdown return, showcasing his vision, speed and ability to find running lanes. On defense, he is a strong open field tackler who uses those same traits to close on ball carriers and finish plays. Modrzejewski shows good instincts, allowing him to read plays and react quickly, which helps him get downhill and make stops. His ability to contribute in multiple phases makes him an intriguing prospect. As he continues to develop, increasing his turnover production will be a key in elevating his stock. With a strong offseason and continued growth, he is a name that could gain traction as an under the radar defensive back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2167671"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69d7ca4fa5b1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Besongo offers a unique physical profile in the secondary, standing at 6'3 with the size to match up against bigger receivers and tight ends. His length and frame allow him to compete effectively in contested situations, giving him an advantage when defending larger targets. He finished the season with 40 total tackles and a forced fumble, showing his ability to contribute defensively. Besongo shows promising athleticism for his size, with the speed needed to stay with quicker receivers. Continued refinement of his technique will be important as he works to maximize his potential. His physical tools provide a strong foundation and with improved production and consistency, he could emerge as a prospect who attracts attention from college programs. His raw talent makes him a prospect to add to the radar moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1268785"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69d7ca4fa5b6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miranda is a defensive back who is building momentum through a strong offseason, particularly with his performance on the 7v7 circuit. He shows the traits of a lockdown corner, using his speed and technique to stay in phase with receivers and disrupt passing lanes. Miranda is comfortable playing in multiple coverage styles, including tight man coverage or trail technique, where he can break on the football and bat the ball down. Despite not having ideal size, he can compensate with quickness, instincts and competitiveness. Miranda is also willing to contribute in run support, recording 36 total tackles and showing no hesitation when stepping up to make plays. His energy and play style stand out, and with continued exposure through camps, he has the potential to significantly elevate his recruiting profile this offseason making him a stock watch candidate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
