Caleb Down's Player Profile

Mel Kiper - ESPN - January 21st: "He diagnoses quickly thanks to excellent pre-snap instincts, and that allows him to play faster than his straight-line speed might suggest. Plus, Downs is solid in coverage, and he is a very reliable open-field tackler."

Walt - Walter Football- January 20th: "Caleb Downs projects as one of the top play-making safeties in the NFL in several years."

Gordon McGinness - PFF - January 19th: "No. 3 overall is rich for a safety, but Downs is a special athlete and the top prospect on the PFF Big Board. He finished the 2025 season with PFF run-defense and coverage grades above 80.0 and should be an impact player at the next level."

NFL Draft Buzz- January: "Watching Downs operate on film reminds me of a young Troy Polamalu with Ed Reed's processing speed - he simply sees things other defensive backs don't."
