Profile

Summary:Conley is an experienced cornerback who continued the success and tradition at the position with the Buckeyes. Conley is strong is press coverage and can play on either side of the field. 

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com said Conley "has NFL size with above-average length. Plays long. At his best when playing with inside leverage and trapping receivers against the boundary. Shades receivers with a basketball stance -- wide base, bent knees and wide arms. Creates challenging throwing lanes to target. Press-man talent with zone instincts."

Stacking up: NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock ranked Conley as the fourth-best cornerback in this year's draft class after the combine. Chris Burke of *Sports Illustrated *has Conley as his No. 8 overall cornerback. Fellow NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks did not have Conley in his top five list.

Lockdown corner: Conley allowed just a 37 percent completion rate on passes thrown his way in college.
