2022 NFL Draft Prospect Report: Kerby Joseph

“Kerby Joseph might not be the most well-rounded safety to come out of this draft class; with only one year as a starter under his belt it’s kind of expected. Joseph is only beginning to learn the nuances of the position and trust himself to make the right choice early on a play. But there’s no denying he’s a natural at the position - with quick feet and good coverage ability, Joseph has already demonstrated an ability to man the deep field, even in a single-high role. Despite his processing being a tick slow, he’s able to recover, converge on the catch point and use his length to make plays on the football - and he’ll only get better at that the more he plays. There’s fair questions about his physicality and dedication in the run game, but you’re not getting the best out of Joseph if you’re asking him to come downfield. A project, but plenty to work with - Joseph is a day three prospect with potential future starter ability.”
