13 best cornerbacks in 2024 NFL Draft, ranked (12. Cam Hart, Notre Dame:  Hart possesses eye-popping size for the position at 6-foot-3 and 202 pounds. The Baltimore native was among the most competitive cornerbacks in attendance at the Senior Bowl. Athleticism is clearly present after Hart posted a 39.5-inch vertical and 10-foot-10 broad. Hart is versatile enough to thrive in man- or zone-heavy systems, but he’s at his best when allowed to cover ground and work downhill in zone.)

TWENTYMAN: 8 pro days to watch this week (Who to watch: Cornerback Cam Hart could also look to improve his 40 time here from the 4.5 he ran at the Combine. His vertical (39.5) was top seven among cornerbacks. His broad jump (10-10) was top six. His 40 time was 19th, and his 10-yard split was 26th.)

6 Lions draft thoughts with 6 weeks until the 2024 NFL draft (Some names I like in some semblance of value-added order:  Cam Hart, Notre Dame (3rd round–only because the Lions don’t currently have a 4th)) (3-14-24):  https://lionswire.usatoday.com/lists/detroit-lions-draft-predictions-6-weeks-2024-nfl-draft/

Cornerbacks Capable of Rising Up Lions' Draft Board (Cam Hart, Notre Dame:  Hart, standing in at 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, has been one of my favorite “under-the-radar” corners all throughout this pre-draft process.  He's been labeled by a variety of draft pundits as a Day 2 prospect, and has been mocked most frequently in round three.   He now might have a chance to be drafted higher, after a strong showing Friday at the NFL combine. He recorded a 4.5-second 40-yard dash time, a 39.5-inch vertical jump and a broad jump of 10’10”.   Hart is equipped with a high degree of athleticism, and is more than proficient in man coverage. In his final season at Notre Dame, he earned an 84.2 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus, including an 81.0 man-coverage mark.)

Notre Dame Corner Cam Hart Turns In Outstanding Performance At The Scouting Combine (3-2-24):  https://www.si.com/college/notredame/football/notre-dame-football-corner-cam-hart-turns-in-outstanding-performance-at-the-scouting-combine

2024 NFL Combine Risers: Terrion Arnold Proves Superlative, Tyler Owens Nearly Breaks Record (Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame:  After a strong Senior Bowl showing, the 6’3″, 202-pound Cam Hart came to the NFL Combine and put up a 39.5″ vertical and a 10’11” broad jump — both near the 93rd percentile for CB prospects. He also looked impressively fluid for his size in the pedal and transition drills, flipping his hips with ease while keeping speed.)

NFL Combine results: 10 standouts from the cornerback group (Cam Hart, Notre Dame (6-foot-3, 202 pounds):  Hart’s size-speed combo is solid, as was his performance in on-field drills. Total body control, confident hands (another former wide receiver), perfectly high points the ball—which at 6-foot-3 will lead to more wins than losses with 50/50 balls—and he got better as the day went on.)

2024 NFL Combine Stock Report – Cornerbacks (Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame:  A 4.50 40 time won’t turn any heads when a cornerback runs that time, but Cam Hart did that at 6-3, 202. His jumping numbers were great (39.5 vertical, 10-10 broad jump), and he looked terrific in the drills.) (3-1-24):  https://walterfootball.com/combine2024stockCB.php

2024 NFL Combine preview: 10 cornerbacks the Detroit Lions should watch (Cam Hart, Notre Dame (6-foot-3, 204 pounds):  Hart is a big, long, experienced athlete who understands how to use his size in coverage but doesn’t always apply that same mentality to run support. He’s a willing tackler who does his job, but he’s not aggressive in tracking the ball and can get sloppy with his technique. He has a smooth backpedal and transition, and while he never gives up on a play, his lack of acceleration can be a problem. Hart improved his stock at the Senior Bowl and will have a chance to do it again at the Combine.)

Lions 2024 Draft Prospect of the Day: Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame (2-23-24):  https://lionswire.usatoday.com/2024/02/22/lions-2024-draft-prospect-of-the-day-cam-hart-cb-notre-dame/

NFL Combine 2024: 5 CBs Who Can Raise NFL Draft Stock (CAM HART, NOTRE DAME:  Notre Dame cornerback Cam Hart was an underrated performer at this year's Senior Bowl. Hart possesses inside-outside versatility despite being a bigger-sized prospect (6-foot-2, 204 pounds). Teams will become increasingly intrigued with Hart once he tests in Indianapolis. Hart has previously broad-jumped 11-foot-2, vertical-jumped 38 inches, and hit 23.01 MPH on the GPS, per Feldman. Based on last year's results, those numbers could place Hart in the top five among all participating cornerbacks in the broad and vertical jumps. Such a performance could see Hart enter the top-64 conversation.) (2-22-24):  https://thedraftnetwork.com/2024/02/22/nfl-combine-2024-cb-draft

Notre Dame Players Show Out At 2024 Reese's Senior Bowl (CB CAM HART:  None of the former Notre Dame standouts had as good a week as Hart. He showed a little inconsistency locating the ball down the field early in the week, but was mostly fantastic. The weigh-in was a great start to the process for Hart, showcasing his incredible length at near 6-3 with long arms. It was no surprise that Hart showcased tremendous physicality throughout the week, beating up wide receivers at the line of scrimmage and through the stem. He broke underneath several routes, forcing various turnovers and throwaways.  There is some scheme dependency for Hart, forecasting much better to a zone heavy system with slightly tight hips to transition quickly enough against certain wide receivers. That will limit him to some teams but in that system, Hart clearly has starter upside. The medicals is the big remaining hurdle but Hart put evaluators on notice down in Mobile with a stellar week.)

Senior Bowl Day 2 and Day 3 observations: Players that could fit the Lions (Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame — After talking with Cam Hart during the media portion of practice, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Lions took a liking to him. He’s a professional and carries himself very well. In addition to that, he was knowledgeable to different coverages and feels like a potential fit to Aaron Glenn’s defense that primarily uses Cover 1 and Cover 3. Additionally, Hart told me his film process on PSL’s (pre-snap looks), wide receiver tendencies and more. I think the Lions could fall in love with how he approaches the game of football.)

NFL Draft Notebook: Ray Davis, Tyler Guyton, Roman Wilson among Senior Bowl standouts (Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame:  Hart came in at 6’2 ⅞”, 204 pounds with 32 ⅝” arms. Per mockdraftable, those three metrics are in the 97th, 88th and 87th percentiles at cornerback.  He’s simply a massive player for the position, but he’s moved extremely well in one on one reps while remaining physical. Even more impressive is that a lot of his reps have come against North Carolina WR Devontez Walker, who he has been able to get the best of.)

2024 Senior Bowl: Thursday’s National Team Practice Report (Some other players who had nice practices included USC running back Marshawn Lloyd, Notre Dame cornerback Cam Hart, Oregon cornerback Khyree Jackson and New Hampshire running back Dylan Laube. Lloyd had an excellent cut back on a run that had nothing open, using a burst to accelerate to the backside. He ran well on Thursday. Hart did well in end-zone coverage, staying with receivers and using his big frame to make it difficult to get passes by him. Jackson practiced well, including making outstanding pass breakup in the end zone. Laube closed things out in nice fashion on Thursday. He has had a respectable week in Mobile.)

Senior Bowl Stock Up and Stock Down Day 3: Brenden Rice Backs Up His Legacy (Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame:  Bertrand wasn’t the only Notre Dame player to take steps forward on Thursday. Cam Hart also ended the week on a high note.  Although Rice beat Hart at the catch point on one 50/50 rep, Hart was able to win most of his 1-on-1 reps with his smothering length and patient, targeted physicality. His best rep came against Javon Baker in off-man — a picture-perfect catch technique rep and contest at the catch point.)

What We Learned at the 2024 Senior Bowl: QB Questions Are Legit (5. Don’t sleep on this corner group
There were some good-looking corners at the Senior Bowl this week. One of the more underrated prospects coming in that caught my eye was Cam Hart.  Hart has excellent size at 6'2" and 207 pounds, and he was able to mirror routes well in team periods. The Notre Dame product didn’t enter the week with the same buzz as Penn State’s Kalen King, but he showed more than enough to warrant a deep look from NFL talent evaluators as the draft process continues.)

2024 Senior Bowl: 10 players that stood out on the first day of practice (Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame:  Notre Dame cornerback Cam Hart locked down Brenden Rice and Devontez Walker multiple times during practice. Much of that was due to his ability to stay square, patient and he used the sideline to his advantage consistently.  Hart checked into the Senior Bowl at 6-foot-2 and 204 pounds with 32 5/8” arms. Using that length to jam receivers and redirect them off their routes, he was in good position to play the football all day. It even led to an interception that would have been a pick-six in an actual game. Teams looking for a number two cornerback with plenty of upside may have something here.)

2024 Senior Bowl: Tuesday’s National Team Practice Report (One of the cornerbacks who covered Walker well was Notre Dame’s Cam Hart. Hart had a strong opening practice, showing the potential to be a starting outside corner. In the one-on-ones Central Florida’s, Javon Baker got away with a late push off downfield, but on Hart’s next rep, he withstood a push-off attempt from Walker before ducking underneath the Tar Heels receiver to get an interception.  Hart showed nice versatility to play zone coverage or press man. At 6-foot-2, 207 pounds, Hart is a big cornerback who could be a nice value pick on Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft. If he works out well and runs fast at the combine, however, he could possibly rise.)

2024 Senior Bowl: Day 1 notebook from the first day of practices (Players I thought helped themselves _ For context here, my focus during National practice was more on the skill position players and on hte lines during the American session.  Notre Dame CB Cam Hart--used his length and closing burst well to break up a couple of passes, including one short out route that he ran better than North Carolina WR Tex Walker and nearly picked off. Instincts and feet were both good.) (1-30-24):  https://draftwire.usatoday.com/lists/2024-senior-bowl-day-1-practice-notebook-player-notes/

2024 Senior Bowl Risers From Weigh-Ins and Measurements: Austin McNamara, Johnny Wilson Among Winners From Weigh-Ins (Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame | Khyree Jackson, CB, Oregon:  Cam Hart and Khyree Jackson were the only cornerbacks at the Senior Bowl to weigh in over 200 pounds. Both also came in over 6’2″ — two frames that jump out compared to the rest of the competition.  The pair completely blew away the rest of the CB room with arm length and wingspan, making them outliers compared to the rest. How these two fare in drills during the Senior Bowl will be interesting to see, given their massive difference in physical frames from the rest of their position group.)

2024 Senior Bowl Preview: Defensive Backs (Big Names - Khyree Jackson & Cam Hart: Jackson transferred to Oregon from Alabama for more playing time and got loads of it in the PNW. He’s a bigger cornerback at 6’2, 203. He was used primarily as an outside corner for the Ducks and was challenged as a third-year player. He’s very physical at the line and aggressively dictates the tempo. Injuries were a consistent theme as he was in and out of the lineup at critical moments with minor stuff. With a solid week, he could boost his stock into the top ten at his position. Teams will love his size. Another corner with great size is Notre Dame’s Hart at 6’2 204. He’s a good athlete with length and quickness. PFF said he was almost exclusively an outside corner with 500 snaps there. He also needs a big week to elevate his stock further.)

Senior Bowl 2024 DB Primer: What You Need To Know (Cam Hart, Notre Dame:  One of my favorite corners in the class, I expect Hart to showcase extremely well. While he lived in the shadow of potential 2025 first-rounder Benjamin Morrison the last few years, Hart deserves his own massive spotlight that the Senior Bowl should provide, and then some. He can play.) (1-26-24):  https://thedraftnetwork.com/2024/01/26/senior-bowl-2024-dbs

NFL Draft Notes: College Football Game Recaps (Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is in the running to be the top non-quarterback prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft, and fellow wideout Emeka Egbuka is another first-round talent. They were held in check for a lot of this game, but they still flashed. In the third quarter, Harrison laid a key block on Cam Hart that helped spring running back TreVeyon Henderson for a 61-yard touchdown run.)

Lions Draft watch: 7 players to watch, including FSU WR Keon Coleman (Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame (Senior) - 6-foot-3, 205 pounds.  An excerpt from The Draft Network’s Ryan Fowler, Cam Hart draft profile:  “Cam Hart is a man/zone versatile corner whose athletic intangibles showcase an explosive and fluid perimeter defender. [...] Overall, Hart is an athletic, refined defender that showcases outstanding footwork and maturity in man coverage.”  Cam Hart (Notre Dame CB 5) has impressed me tonight on tape. Listed at 6-2 and 198 lbs with 24 games played and 10 starts. Instantly, you can see his length but watch his quick feet while reading the QB and then the aggressiveness to fly upfield to make the tackle. pic.twitter.com/S0odlMmpVh — Russell Brown (@RussNFLDraft) August 12, 2022.  How he’d fit with the Lions:  A potential Day 3 prospect with Day 2 upside, Hart will have a real chance to boost his stock if he can perform well against Harrison and Emeka Egbuka—another OSU potential first-round wide receiver prospect. Hart is big, long, and athletic, and if he can clean up his penalties, he’ll be a player that will draw the Lions' attention.)

Notre Dame Fighting Irish Preview: Roster, Prospects, Schedule, and More (Cam Hart, CB:  Now a third-year starter for the Fighting Irish, Cam Hart remains an intriguing sleeper in the 2024 NFL Draft. Overarching consistency is still an issue for him at times, but Hart has all of the necessary tools in his arsenal. At 6’2″, 207 pounds, he’s long and lean with an NFL frame. He’s supremely explosive when closing downhill or matching vertically, and he has the long-strider speed to contend with deep threats.)
