The Washington Commanders are just days away from adding another rookie class to their roster.

At some point during the draft, the Commanders will likely select a cornerback, and that player could end up being Notre Dame's Benjamin Morrison.

Morrison could join Commanders

"Morrison projects as a late first-round to early second-round pick with the potential to be a first-year starter in the NFL," B/R scout Cory Giddings said. "His combination of smooth athleticism, versatility in coverage, and physicality in the run game makes him a well-rounded prospect capable of fitting into multiple defensive schemes.

"While he needs to improve his transitions and maintain discipline in zone coverage, Morrison's skill set offers a high ceiling. With continued development, particularly in his ability to shed blocks and refine his coverage techniques, Morrison has the potential to become a reliable starting cornerback at the next level."

The NFL Draft is scheduled for Thursday until Saturday at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
