Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Jonathan Jones

Summary

Robert Longerbeam has shown the flexibility to line up on the boundary or play the field. He has good hip fluidity to transition across the field and is better playing in zone coverage where his instincts are most useful. Longerbeam lacks ideal play strength to consistently jam and reroute receivers but is relatively competitive at the catch point. He must become a more consistent tackler at the next level.

About

Combine: Led all cornerbacks with 11-foot-2 broad jump and tied for sixth with 4.39-second 40-yard dash
Career: Led Big Ten with 13 passes defended (11 breakups, two interceptions) in 2024 and finished third among rostered 2024 FBS players with 42 career passes defended (37 breakups, five interceptions).

Strengths

Good hip fluidity to transition across the field
Competitive at the catch point despite lack of size
Good awareness in zone coverage
Good leader and communicator

Weaknesses

Below-average play strength to jam and consistently reroute receivers
Below-average length
23.2% missed tackle rate in 2024, per TruMedia; must do a better job coming to balance in space
