1. West Virginia SS Karl Joseph
The particulars: 5-11, 197, senior
The skinny: Joseph is not the most gifted safety when it comes to coverage skills. But when it comes to punishing opposing players, whether they be wide receivers, running backs, tight ends or quarterbacks, he has no peer in the college game. He excels in run support because it allows him to be physical. The bottom line: Joseph is a tough guy who loves to deliver a big hit (truthfully, he can get a bit sloppy at times because he always is looking for the big hit). He hits a ton; he's a sledgehammer masquerading as a defensive back.
