Interviewing LSU defender JaCoby Stevens
LSU safety JaCoby Stevens joined the Prospect Prophets on Wednesday, March 10th to talk about his journey, training, the food he likes, and more.
Stevens also made an appearance on the NFL Draft Bible’s “The State of Football” show.
In an ever-evolving game, safety/linebacker hybrids are becoming more and more prevalent in the NFL. Players like Jeremy Chinn, Isaiah Simmons and Tyrann Mathieu are a few examples of this trend, and JaCoby Stevens will be another of these hybrid types.
At 6’1” and 216 lbs. (per the Senior Bowl weigh-in), Stevens has the size to play gap defense as a linebacker. He is in the threshold where he can stand up running backs on the inside while not being slowed down by additional weight to better drop back into coverage.
While playing for LSU, Stevens was asked to play a one-high free safety, rush the edge as a pass-rusher and play inside the box as a run defender.
The NFL Draft Bible expects Stevens to be a day two selection in the NFL Draft.
