The Miami Hurricanes have lots of players awaiting next month's NFL Draft. 

While Reuben Bain Jr., Francis Mauigoa and Akheem Mesidor are at the top of the list, no player helped themselves more than defensive back Keionte Scott. 

Longtime Hurricanes writer Rudy Rodriguez and Miami Roundtable Sports contributor recently broke down Scott's performance at UM's Pro Day this week. 

"A couple of players really, really crushed it in my opinion," Rodriguez-Chomat said on the Come On Now "Hurricanes Unfiltered" podcast. "One of them is Keionte Scott. The 40-yard dash, Keionte Scott ran twice. He ran a 4.25 and 4.39 unofficially. I don't know which time is really legit and not legit. Let's just chop it in the middle and say he's 4.32 in the 40. That's a blistering time. I didn't know he was that fast. Even in that Pick 6 against Ohio State, I didn't know he was that fast." 

Many are expecting Scott to creep into the second round of the Draft. His speed and versatility are two of his best qualities. 

"That is elite track speed," Rodriguez-Chomat said. "That is the type of elite speed that gets you moving up to the first day of the draft. It really does. Keionte, big-time performance ... He also has a 44-inch vertical leap. That would've been the best vertical leap for any cornerback in the Combine." 

Here's what they're saying about Scott: 

NFL.com -- "Scott’s play style and tackle production resemble that of a Will linebacker. He’s edgy and urgent near the line with an ability to slip or play off of blocks. He can snuff out run plays before they get started. Scott lacks ball production due to inconsistent break anticipation and route squeeze, but he can twitch-and-trigger to close windows, wrap and finish. He keeps yards after contact to a minimum. Scott’s blitz talent off the edge makes him a value-added rusher. He’s an older prospect and needs to play in a scheme that allows him to keep his eyes forward, but Scott’s football character should make him a team favorite as a starting nickelback."

Bleacher Report -- "Keionte Scott is a defensive weapon working from the slot, particularly as a blitzer. His foot-speed and rush-lane processing help him close on quarterbacks and ballcarriers in the blink of an eye. He brings juice every time he steps onto the field and gets his teammates fired up with every tackle. His playmaking outshines his size and makes him an impactful defender."

NFL Draft Buzz -- "Scott's NFL path is clear: he is a nickel corner in a defense that wants its slot player to do more than just cover. The blitzing production translates because the timing, burst, and finishing ability are all on tape. His run defense is the most pro-ready part of his game, and that matters in a league where offenses increasingly attack the slot with power concepts. A coordinator can move him around in sub-packages, send him off the edge, or drop him into underneath zones where his instincts and play speed create problems for quarterbacks working the middle of the field."
