Isaiah Bolden draft projection: Where might the Jackson State standout corner end up playing in the NFL?

Jackson State cornerback Isaiah Bolden could be the answer for any NFL team searching for an explosive corner. While he's not getting as much hype as his counterparts from more well-known programs, Bolden's abilities are well-documented.

Bolden, who was recently invited to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, will get an opportunity to show what he's got in front of a major audience. If you're not familiar with the contest, many Pro Football Hall of Famers and ex-NFL players help coach the teams.

Bolden is quite familiar with at least one NFL name; he transferred to Jackson State just as the program brought in Deion Sanders to be their head coach.

In terms of being an NFL defensive back, Bolden still needs refinement. His college stats were solid, having recorded 44 tackles, with 30 of them being solo. Bolden amassed seven pass breakups while in coverage, a notable statistic.

Another number that shows off Bolden's awareness is his lone fumble recovery. Say what you will about him, but the prospect knows how to make a play when he gets the ball in his hands.
