Nate Ritchie

Strong frame with length and room to add mass without sacrificing fluidity. Highly instinctive defensive back with ability to cover ground. Reacts quickly to plays in front of him. Can bait quarterbacks into making throws before jumping routes. Impressive ball skills and overall athleticism. Good speed and quickness, can change directions and stick to receivers in coverage. Physical tackler who can hold his ground and support closer to line of scrimmage. Plus effort and weak-side pursuit. Could improve man to man cover skills and backpedal footwork. Potential early contributor at the Power Five level and upside as NFL Draft Day 3 selection.
