Reminds Us Of

Jeremy Chinn

S / 6-3 / 212

Southern Illinois · HS Class of 2016

2020 Draft · Rnd 2 · Pick 64

Jelani McDonald is a big-framed safety prospect who could grow into a linebacker long-term. His size and high-end athleticism remind us of Jeremy Chinn. McDonald is an accomplished three-sport athlete who is also a standout in basketball and track. Chinn was a ball-hawking defensive back at the high school level.
