Ourlads' Profile:
2020 Guide: What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about JAYLINN HAWKINS: California, 6005 208 4.55. Three-year starter, Buena Park, CA. Tall lanky safety who has a versatile skill set. Plays in the box, deep half, quarters, and one high. As a box safety willing take-on ability with long arms to ward off blocks. As a deep safety, tracks well moving downhill and can deliver a blow when tackling. Flashes an explosive strike and finish. Has range in pursuit and takes good angles working across the field. Has ball skills for the interception and pass break. Uses his length to get to the catch point. Reads and reacts to pattern pressure in the deep half with the ability to flip his hips to get to deep corner and post routes. Has shown range to get over the top. Has flashed matchup skill in the box but will get separated on route breaks. Initial backpedal is somewhat segmented and can create false steps. Some hang up in lateral transition which can affect break on the ball. Occasionally gets too deep coming downhill and will overrun the play and miss a tackle. Some trouble with lunging instead of wrapping up. Has kick cover ability and could project as a backup/special teams player. 2019 stats: 56 T, 4.5 TFL, 2 sacks, 2 PBU, 2 FF, 3 INT. Medical exclusion at Combine. Seventh round/PFA. (A-31 3/4, H-9 1/2, VJ-35.5, SS-DNP).
