Book on CB Ligarius Jennings

Here's a rundown of what I've had to say about Tennessee State CB LIGARIUS JENNINGS since the beginning of the college-football season.

Jan. 4
Outstanding prospect from the Division I-AA ranks, Jennings is a strong, compact 5-foot-9, 193-pounder who is instinctive in coverage and will aggressively support the run as well.

Dec. 31
While he lacks ideal height at 5-foot-9, like Tampa Bay's Donnie Abraham, he's quick as a cat and is also extremely competitive. Jennings is a strong, compact 193-pounder who will mix it up in run support and will also deliver a jarring blow in coverage to separate the receiver from the ball. If his performance is up to the high level I expect during post-season action, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Jennings end up in the late first or early-mid second round.
