Ayers is an impressive defensive back. He shows the acceleration and speed of a corner with the range, ball-hawking skills and physicality sought after in a free safety. Has just adequate size, but he plays much bigger. His lean, rangy frame should continue to physically develop well. Very versatile, impressive athlete and depending on scheme could pretty much play corner or safety at the next level. Better breaking and playing the ball in front of him. Anticipates the pass and diagnoses the run very quickly. Transitions fast and smoothly out of his pedal. Breaks on the football with little wasted motion. Flashes excellent ball skills and adjusts his body well to the pass. Takes sharp, directed angles to the football versus the run or pass. Leaves minimal cutback creases when running the alley. Has great play speed and recovery quickness. Closes with great burst and generates striking velocity, allowing him to separate the ball from the receiver. A collision tackler who can force turnovers, but does need to do a better job wrapping up and breaking down -- particularly in space. Very physical, but needs to build up his frame with bulk to remain a strong run-supporter in the box and able to press bigger college receivers. Has fluid hips, but can lose some in transition opening and turning with his high-cut frame. Projects better breaking on the ball in underneath zone or off-man schemes than locked up as a cover corner. Potentially a great Cover 2 corner and a guy who will offer his future defensive coordinator great scheme versatility. Footwork and overall corner technique need some refinement. That said, Ayers brings a lot of intangibles to the table both physically and mentally. We love his aggressive style of play, instincts and big-play potential when projecting for the next level.
