2019 NFL Combine Profile:
Name: Trayvon Mullen
Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 194 pounds
Draft Grade: 1st-2nd Rounder
How will he perform?
Mullen vastly improved his NFL Draft stock with his performance in the postseason. At midseason, many were considering him to be a late 2nd or 3rd round draft pick, but with how he performed- particularly against Notre Dame and Alabama- he has moved up the board.
Mullen can now be found in the 1st round of most NFL Mock Drafts and I think scouts are beginning to take notice of his film.
He did an excellent job in 2018 shutting down opposing wide receivers, but I still think he has some development left. Mullen isn’t as polished coming out of college as Mackensie Alexander was, and that may keep a franchise from using their 1st round pick on him, but I do think that he’ll have a chance to prove himself.

There are a few franchises that are in need of defensive back depth and a talented cornerback. If that remains the case, there’s a good chance Mullen continues to up his draft stock.
