From grantland.com:
While prepping for this piece, I put together a sort of reverse mock draft of 76 candidates who were either unlikely to be drafted or were on the bubble, and every other player featured in this article comes from that initial group. But it never occurred to me to include Prewitt, a two-time All-SEC pick1 whose combination of size (6-foot-2, 208 pounds), experience (41 starts), and production (247 tackles, 12 interceptions) as a captain of the no. 1 scoring defense in the nation in 2014 seemed to mark him as one of the safest defensive backs in the entire class despite concerns over his speed.
Before the draft, Prewitt delivered a solid week at the Senior Bowl and was considered a likely midround pick who could have conceivably gone as high as Round 2. Instead, he watched as 13 other safeties went off the board, half of whom carried an equal or lower grade according to NFL.com. Prewitt never caused so much as a ripple off the field at Ole Miss, but short of personal issues that have yet to come to light, no 2015 draft snub makes less sense.http://grantland.com/the-triangle/2...ootball-all-stars-nick-marshall-cody-prewitt/
