With the 185th selection in the 2019 NFL Draft, Brian Gutekunst selected Ka'dar Hollman, cornerback, Toledo

Measurables:

4.37 40-yard dash / 39-inch vertical

Career Notes:

Hollman could not land a scholarship offer after playing his high school ball in New Jersey and then playing at Milford Academy, a well-known prep school in New York. Toledo took a shot on his talent, offering him a preferred walk-on spot. He redshirted in 2014 and played in just two games the following year, making two tackles. The coaches gave him a scholarship prior to his sophomore season and he responded by starting 8 of 13 games (33 tackles, eight pass breakups). Hollman started all 14 games in 2017 (35 tackles, seven pass breakups) and completed his career with the Golden Rockets by leading the MAC with 12 pass breakups (to go along with 43 tackles and an interception).

SCOUTING REPORT:

BLEACHERREPORT.COM: Above-average speed that can keep up with nearly anyone.  Aggressive with his hands throughout the entire rep.  Solid change of direction that makes him a potential boundary or slot corner.  Able to turn and run in-phase with the best receivers in the nation thanks to top-tier speed and athleticism.  Hand placement in press is inconsistent, wide and more grabby than it is disrupting.  Rocks on his heels at the line of scrimmage and can have his balance manipulated too easily.  "Dive and pray" tackler who doesn't show consistent technique and will get abused by NFL backs.

DRAFTANALYST.COM: Athletic cornerback prospect with terrific next-level measurables. Stays with assignments, mixes it up with opponents and has an aggressive style. Keeps the action in front of him, plays heads-up football and competes to defend the throw. Gets his head back around to locate the pass. Quick up the field to defend running plays and screen passes. Effectively makes the calls in the secondary.  Not always on balance. Not a surehanded tackler. Late to transition off the line when he follows opponents downfield.  Hollman possesses terrific measurables and has shown good development the past two seasons, which could help him find a place on a practice squad this summer.

COMMENTARY:

Hallmon offers very good speed but is extremely raw.  His story is that of a fighter and one who perseveres, having scratched and clawed his way onto Toledo's roster as a walk on. The Packers will be lucky if he's able to crack the roster as depth in their cornerback room.  Special teams could get Hollman a spot and he's at least a great developmental prospect for the team's practice squad.
