Sanders Commings is a mid-round possibility if the Patriots want to focus on their defensive backfield. (AP)

SANDERS COMMINGS

Position: Cornerback

School: Georgia

Height: 6-foot-0

Weight: 216 pounds

Achievements: Preseason All-SEC third team (coaches)

What he brings: Commings has good size and agility. As a former outfielder who was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks (37th round, 2008), Commings also has great hands, helping him force turnovers and pass deflections. He is very physical with receivers and is a good special teams player. He has a lean, athletic upper body and loose hips. Commings sneaks peeks at the quarterback throughout the route and has good body control to turn quickly, locate the football and make a play on it. He is good at fighting through blocks to keep his containment responsibilities and make tackles.

Where the Patriots could get him: Round 3 or later

Notes: In 2011, Commings started all 14 games, making 55 tackles and recording a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and an interception. He had 51 tackles and three interceptions in 12 games in 2012. He missed the first two games of his senior season in 2012 due to a suspension, resulting from a domestic violence charge.
