2018 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about DANE CRUIKSHANK: Arizona, 6012 209 4.45. Two year starter from Chino Hills, CA. Transferred from Citrus Junior College. Played boundary corner as a junior and moved to the Spur position as a senior. He is more like an outside linebacker or nickel as a Spur. Physical in run support showing take-on ability versus a slot and tight end. Gets extension with his arms and can shed working to the ball. Shows range in pursuit and has the speed to chase plays across the field. Explosive tackling with the ability to drop a ball carrier in his tracks. Can tackle in space showing good form and finish. Matches up well to slots and tight ends. Can lock up a receiver in press showing a physical jam along with mirror ability. Quick break on the ball with good hands for the interception. Shows blitz skill with a burst to close on a running back or quarterback. Prone to interference penalties as he can be too aggressive with his hands on route breaks. Can be slow to shed as he will get locked up at times on a block. Lacks experience in deep zone coverage. Shows good kick cover skill. Special teams and sub-package versatility give him a shot to play on Sundays. Shrine Game notes: A physical player with an imposing presence in press coverage. Shows good initial movement with quick feet in his pedal and good change of direction. Played well at both nickel and corner in coverage. Mirrors cuts and does a good job with cushion and leverage.
