Pros

  • Great athlete at the position.

  • Very aggressive at the start of routes when pressing receivers.
 
  • Mirrors receivers very well after initial pop.
 
  • Scrappiness throughout receivers route makes it difficult to focus.
 
  • Necessary speed and agility to mirror shifty receivers when playing off-man.
 
  • Guns down hard on passes to either make a play or make big hit on receiver.
 
  • Has enough speed to stay with deep threats.
 
  • His explosiveness and speed give him significant size area of coverage in zone.
 
  • Attacks the football quickly when quarterbacks try and throw in his area.
 
  • Great ball skills with soft hands to snag interception.
 
  • Highly accurate when punching at the receivers catch point which has resulted in relatively large amount of defended passes.
 
  • Vicious opponent on contested catches as he's stronger than he looks and is very capable of ripping out the football.
 
  • Might be one of the best overall blitzers in the draft with a high success rate of making tackles in the backfield when coming off the edge.

  • Times his blitzes very well with consistency.
 
  • Plays far above his weight class and isn't afraid to tackle bigger ball carriers.
 
  • Has a great knack for stripping the football at the cornerback position, a very rare and tremendous skill to have.
​
  • Has played all over the secondary at Indiana with good results, making him a versatile chess piece.
 
  • A ravenous playmaker on the field that does everything in his power to create turnovers.
​
  • High motor defender that never stops playing.
​
  • NFL bloodlines with his brother Trayvon Mullen and cousin Lamar Jackson.

Cons

  • Size limits him to a slot corner or safety role in the NFL.

  • Feistiness at the position doesn't make for disadvantages when facing bigger receivers.
 
  • More of grab and drag tackler that often goes for ankles rather than head on tackling.
 
  • Lengthy injury history due to tenacious and aggressive style of play.
 
  • Bites on fakes and play action too much for comfort.
​
  • Can improve his route recognition more in both man and zone.
 
  • Bullied in press coverage against bigger receivers.
 
  • Over aggressiveness in coverage could lead to him seeing yellow.
 
  • Sluggos have been his worst enemy in college.

Overview

 A lot of scouts and team are sleeping on Tiawan Mullen as a prospect and I can't understand why outside of his injury history and size. Mullen plays football at an NFL speed and his competitiveness on the field is contagious to his teammates. He's a good cover corner in all phases of the position and is a tremendous run defender that does all the little things right like trying to strip the football and timing his blitzes. Is he short for an outside corner? Yes. Does he play too hard for his size? Potentially, but stick him on an NFL defense and you'll see a player that will try and change the outcome of the game when he can. He should find himself getting selected late Day 2 early or early Day and frankly either would be a steal in my opinion. He's got all the intangibles and skills to be a solid contributor on defense for a creative defensive mind.
