There are stigmas surrounding these kinds of issues, and the first step is
helping to remove those stigmas. If people feel more comfortable talking about
these issues with friends and family, maybe this becomes a problem that

VirginiaJeremy Brevard-USA TODAY SportsGreetings Faithful! We are back with
another scouting report. Today it’s a closer look at Virginia product, safety
Juan Thornhill. There has been a lot of debate as to if the San Francisco 49ers
should select a safety in the second or third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. If
you are for selecting a safety then who is your guy?Today we are going to take a
closer look at one of the higher ranked safeties this draft class has to offer
in Juan Thornhill. Combine Results:Thornhill participated in the 40-yard
dash

However, he elected to skip the 3-cone, as well as the 20 and 60-yard

1/8”Summary:Juan Thornhill earned his way into the national spotlight by the
time the draft process went full swing in the lead-up to April. Thornhill has a
great frame and size for the position as well as the wingspan that scouts and
evaluators seek for at the next level. A former cornerback before switching to
safety,Thornhill also possesses that natural ballhawk mentality on the playing
field.Has a strong knowledge of route combos and when adding that with his
ability to anticipate where the pass is going, gives Thornhill an early
advantage on making a play. Plays well in coverage and man to man along the
outside. Will often crowd receivers and out-hustle and work them for every pass
thrown in his direction. On film, Thornhill plays an aggressive and physical
brand of football, often cutting receivers off of their routes. He forces
receivers onto an island, and isolates his opponent, taking them out of the
play. He has a rangy center-fielder’s ability to cover a lot of ground both
vertically and horizontally. I like his initial burst and quick trigger to
challenge receivers on a multitude of routes. In addition to receivers,
Thornhill has the ability to line up over the slot and matchup with tight ends
as well. Thornhill has the athleticism and physical strength to cleanly finish
tackles in the open field. Runs with urgency and will often stay stride for
stride, even on longer, deep routes. Makes

Thornhill demonstrated growth each season at Virginia, saving his best for last,
earning first-team all-conference honors and leading Virginia with 98 total
tackles, 6 interceptions, while also recording 4.5 tackles for a loss, and 7
passes broken up. In other words, Thornhill is entering the NFL on a high note,
where I expect the continuous growth and maturity as he transitions to the pro
level.Is Thornhill a fit for the 49ers?By all accounts, he is certainly a fit.
There will be those that say his hands are too small for what the team is
seeking; however, Thornhill more than makes up for his smallish hands with his
big-play and game changing abilities. What I really love about Thornhill is his
range and ability to serve as insurance for all cornerbacks on the field. I also
love his cornerback traits and ballhawk mentality. His anticipation on where the
play will occur and subsequent break-up or even interception a big plus for a
team that is in desperate need of creating more turnovers. Thornhill
demonstrated his ability to tackle in the open field and prevent receivers from
creating additional yards after the reception throughout his film. If the 49ers
are interested in Thornhill’s services then a day two pick will need to be
invested. At the moment Thornhill looks like he is projected to go somewhere in
the middle of round two. So, trading back or trading up into the second round
will be necessary in order to acquire Thornhill’s services. If a safety is the
target, Thornhill would be a great choice!What are your thoughts on Juan
Thornhill? Would you invest a day two pick to select the safety out of
Virginia?
