Jason Teague of Texas Christian ~ 6.2/195
"A tall, long-armed cover man who needs to continue to add more weight/strength to his frame, but does showcase a willingness to tackle in the run game. Uses his length well to fight off blocks, breaks down well at the line and possesses above-average snap for a guy of his dimensions and is a pretty sound tackler.
Is at his best in coverage when asked to play up near the line and get his hands on receivers. Has good press patience, doesn't get overextended lunging into wideouts and showcases good technique getting his hands on the target. Is really tough to disengage from off the line once he gets his hands on you and does a nice job re-routing initially and staying on his man through the play.
However, will get a bit upright which causes him to get crossed up with his footwork when asked to quickly mirror off the line or initially down the field, allowing receivers to cleanly separate and get down the field. Has a good feel for the pass game and does a nice job identifying routes, especially in zone coverage.
But if he can't get his hands on receivers in man, he will struggle to maintain his footing in man coverage. Possesses decent fluidity when asked to turn and run in off, but if he's asked to play from behind he lacks the balance and burst to make up for a false step on any area of the field.
Impression: Possesses a long, good-looking frame and has some talent as a press man and in zone. However, he gets leggy at times, will lose balance and can't play in a trail technique from behind. Will get a shot in an NFL camp, but doesn't look like much more than a late round/free agent type who can fill out a low-end roster spot playing special teams."

"Strengths: Good size for a corner. Good recognition skills both in the running game and in route recognition. Good balance down the field when going up for jump balls, as he has the size and jumping ability to either break up the pass or the hands to come down with it.
Weaknesses: Lacks the balance on double moves. Doesn't have the speed to recover. Just adequate closing burst on routes.
Projection: UDFA."

"Jason Teague went from the junior college ranks to a roleplayer at TCU to a superb starting corner during his senior season. Prior to arriving in Fort Worth, the 6-2 cornerback spent a little time at the junior college ranks. As a sophomore in 2008 Teague suited up for the Horned Frogs but only saw action in five games as he recovered from an injury that forced him to miss most of the preseason. Even in 2009 as an upperclassman TCU had two four year starters on the corners and Teague was relegated to the bench. He did earn two starts, but was only tallied 22 tackles on the season.
A big question heading into 2010 was the two new starting corners. It was possible that Mountain West opponents could find the chink in the TCU armor. Yet, as has been the case time and time again, Texas Christian University had players who were more than capable of filling the void. Teague was one of those players. In a memorable season for TCU, Teague tallied 37 tackles and two interceptions. He also led the team with seven passes defended and nine pass breakups. Nobody ever found the weakness in TCU's defense, since Teague stepped up his game and made it so there was no weakness to be found.
Teague could turn some heads in the pre-draft workouts. He is a quick, smart player and has more size than some other corners in this class. He is also a big hitter and capable of moving over to free safety if he needs to do so. Right now Teague is likely a fifth or sixth round selection, but do not be surprised if his stock rises between now and draft time."
