The 2025 NFL offseason is here and that means it’s time for mock drafts, draft profiles and everything that goes with them. So without further ado, here’s one of many Draft Profiles for the 2025 NFL draft.
Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina
HT: 6’2
WT: 194 lbs
Accolades:
Second-team AAC (2023)
Video:
Pros:
Length for days and knows how to use it – consistently disrupts passing lanes and bullies receivers at the line with a mean streak that shows up on every press rep.
Raw athleticism jumps off the screen – that 4.40 speed isn’t just combine numbers, it shows up when he’s running stride for stride with receivers down the boundary.
Transition game is butter smooth for a tall corner – drops his hips and changes direction like someone four inches shorter, which is rare for a 6’3″ defender.
Special teams demon who approaches gunner duties like he’s shot out of a cannon – blocked kicks prove he’s not just out there to fill a roster spot.
Recovery speed is elite – even when he loses a step, he’s got that extra gear to close the gap and make receivers uncomfortable at the catch point.
Physical mentality shows up in run support – not content to just cover, he’ll come downhill and strike with bad intentions against the run game.
Ball skills improved dramatically from 2022 to 2023 – started trusting his length and timing to make plays at the apex of routes.
Football IQ shows up in pattern matching – recognition skills developed rapidly once he got starting reps, showing natural feel for route combinations.
Cons:
Can get grabby when he loses leverage – drew more flags than you’d like to see, needs to trust his recovery ability instead of panicking.
Zone coverage instincts still developing – occasionally loses track of crossing routes when passing off receivers in quarters coverage.
Medical evaluation will be crucial – September 2024 ACL tear means he’ll likely miss crucial pre-draft process and possibly start of rookie year.
Takes some unnecessary risks jumping routes – aggression is mostly good but can lead to big plays when he guesses wrong.
Summary:
From Amazon warehouse worker to NFL prospect, Shavon Revel’s journey is one for the books. But what’s truly captivating scouts is his performance on the field. As one of the most intriguing cornerback prospects in the 2025 class, Revel’s game tape is getting rewound and replayed, leaving a lasting impression.
To reach his full potential, Revel needs to find a team with a scheme that complements his skills. Ideally, he’ll land with a defense that empowers its corners to play aggressively, challenging receivers at the line and occasionally covering them one-on-one. Teams like Seattle, the New York Jets, and Baltimore, which employ such tactics, could provide an ideal fit.
Prior to his injury, Shavon Revel was on track to become a top-15 pick. However, the ACL tear may push him to Day 2 of the draft. Still, it wouldn’t be surprising if a team selects him late in Round 1. His rare blend of length, speed, and competitiveness is impossible to coach. If medical evaluations check out, Revel has the potential to become a CB1 under the guidance of a creative defensive coordinator.
