John Meredith's combination of stature, length, and athleticism as a boundary corner reminds us of Gareon Conley. Meredith is a bit taller than Conley, but both are big corners who excel with their length, particularly in zone coverage.  Conley had more experience on offense and was a two-way player at the high school level, while Meredith primarily played defense. 

Long and dynamic corner prospect with elite length and top-end speed. Can cover any body type at receiver that lines up against him. 6-foot-2, 180-plus pounds with 33-inch arms. Ran sub-22 in the 200m and jumped over 43 feet in the triple jump during his sophomore track and field season. Has the speed and hip fluidity to cover more sudden receivers and the physicality and length to handle bigger-bodied options. Excellent ball skills and ability to attack the football in the air. Needs to continue developing footwork and instincts in man coverage but has all the physical and athletic tools coaches covet at the position.
