Jonathon Kongbo = Malik Jackson
This is probably the most obvious comparison of the bunch. At 6'6 280, Kongbo is very similar in stature to Jackson who is currently listed at 6'5 293. Neither are elite edge rushers but they are above average athletes for men of their stature. Playing physical, being distruptive, being versatile, and having good range are the overwhelming positives for both players.
Nigel Warrior = Earl Thomas
"Smaller" safeties with corner skills. Both are physical tackler and above average cover guys for true safeties.
Marquez Callaway = Sammy Watkins
They both excel with their ability to track a deep ball. This is the primary reason I draw this comparison. I know Callaway can run, I am not sure if he has Sammy's speed though... Have to wait and see there. Sammy is also a rarity in that he has straight line speed to go deep but has way above average agility and suddenness.
Latrell Williams and Tyler Byrd = Antonio Brown
Elite athletes with similar size. Williams and Byrd are clearly raw as WRs, but their raw skills are comparable to Brown's.
Marquill Osborne = Tyrann Mathieu
Neither guy has ideal length in today's game as DBs seem to get longer and longer. But both make up for their lack of length with way above average quickness, a pitbull mentality, and great football instincts. At the college level, both guys could play all 5 defensive back positions and do it well.
As an ex-LB I really wanted to find a nice comparison for Bituli and Blakely but I cant seem to find any. Both guys are really tall (6'3 and 6'2 respectively)... I think at least one, if not both, guys end up playing on the edge or as full time DE's. It will obviously depend on what their bodies do over the next couple years.
