Overview:
Chris L. Rucker is a CB with good size, but he lacks the speed to be an impact player at the next level. His footwork needs a lot of work and he will struggle man-to-man with quicker NFL receivers. However, he is a capable zone corner. He has a good burst to the ball and is also a sound tackler. In order to be successful, he must play in a zone heavy scheme, or perhaps move to FS.
