Tennessee State's Profile for Eugene Clifford

Though troubled, he left Columbus after a checkered time there with at least 2 off-the-field incidents, though just a RS Freshman he is the best prospect at TSU since DR-C left for the NFL.

Great triangle numbers for the position. Improving production. Was rated as the No. 3 recruit overall in his state as a senior and has been timed as fast as 4.45, best squat of 500lbs and a 33 inch vertical, clearly a great athlete and physically imposing enough to play either safety spot, but has the hips for the corner. Size, toughness to compete in run support, and has some instincts and coverage skills as well. World of potential here.

Seems to be immature and a bit of a hothead. Still gambles too much and bites on fakes too often. Gets out of position. Displays questionable judgment on and off the field. Disappears for stretches. Not a real dedicated guy.

5th round, but if he keeps his nose clean, proves he can play all of the secondary positions very well and gets to the combine he could climb much, much higher.

Talented and rangy but a major headache--most of his teammates don't even talk to him. Plays much like Deangelo Hall, for better and worse
