2023 NFL Draft: Kelee Ringo scouting report

An unreal athlete with ideal height/weight/speed combination that was ultra-productive in the top Georgia defense, Kelee Ringo could develop into a true No. 1 corner and has the legitimate skillset to do just that. While he did not fill up the stat page with the Bulldogs, his impact was obvious, coming away with four interceptions and 15 pass breakups over the course of the last two seasons.

In pass coverage Ringo excels in man scheme. He’s strong enough to stick his hand into the chest of a defender and fluid enough to turn and run with the receiver should they get off the initial jam quickly enough. He has impressive down-the-field speed and can easily make up any ground lost on the initial break off point, or keep up with the speediest receivers in college football on posts and deep outs. He adjusts well to most routes and has excellent closing ability to make a play on the football when a route strays away from him. He excels in press by stunning the receiver at the line and forcing them to play the sidelines, he is strong and physical enough to bully smaller receivers.

As a tackler, Ringo is solid and understands the fundamentals of tackling, rarely whiffing in the secondary or against the run. He is physical enough to deliver a pop to a ball carrier and can punish a receiver for catching a ball in his area when he closes in on them. His long arms allow for easy wrap and not many tackles escape him.
