Reminds Us Of

Elijah Jones

CB / 6-3 / 175

Boston College · HS Class of 2018

2024 Draft · Rnd 3 · Pick 90

Tae Walden's size, athleticism, and background as a two-way standout reminds us of Elijah Jones at the same stage. Like Jones, Walden stars as a wide receiver and corner on Friday nights. Both were also thin, plus athletes. Walden is more of a national prospect at the same stage, while Jones had more track bona fides.

Tae Walden Jr.

Scouted byCharles Power

ATH2027 · Football

Dynamic two-way athlete who shows intriguing upside as a cornerback and wide receiver. Measured in at around 6-foot-2, 165 pounds as a junior. Tests as a top athlete in the combine setting, posting impressive 40-yard dash and broad jump marks. Lines up at wide receiver, cornerback, and as a return man on Friday nights. Very explosive mover with a bunch of burst. Gets to his top gear in a flash. Looks like the best athlete on the field at all times. Shows high-level flashes as a corner, despite that not being his primary position. Instinctual in coverage and ball skills…
