Tiawan Mullen

Tiawan Mullen was absurdly good as a true freshman for Indiana at cornerback this past season. The 5’10” 176-pound defensive back allowed completions on just 45% of attempts directed at him, and directly broke up 30% of targets to his receiver. He has great ball skills and solid length and athleticism which should not be a knock on him come the time he is draft eligible.

After allowing just 18 completions this year, it would be no surprise to see the cornerback be an All-Big Ten performer next season, and who knows just how good he’ll be by the time he can declare for the draft after his junior season.

Mullen has the tools to be a great defensive back and has backed it up through his lone season with great production.

It would be no surprise to see Mullen go on the second day of the draft whenever he decides to leave Indiana.
