Charles Demmings NFL Draft Profile & College Stats
Demmings provides tremendous upside at the next level after an FCS All-American and All-Southland Conference career.
He had strong production in his college years and has shown off his athleticism and skill set during the NFL pre-draft process. His length, agility, and speed make Demmings a potential Day 2 draft pick.
Demmings didn’t go out for high school football during his sophomore and junior years, resulting in very few college offers. But his development at SFA led to Demmings flourishing beginning in his redshirt sophomore season.
In 2023, Demmings totaled 18 tackles, two interceptions, and eight pass breakups. The next season, he tallied 19 tackles, two interceptions, and 10 pass breakups, grading out with PFF’s No. 21 coverage grade among FCS cornerbacks. And in 2025, Demmings had 18 tackles, four interceptions, and five pass breakups.
Demmings saw his draft stock climb after a strong week at the Senior Bowl. And he backed up his impressive film by showing off his athleticism at the NFL Combine.
Demmings ran a 4.41-second 40-yard dash (No. 5 among cornerbacks at the 2026 combine), had a 42-inch vertical (No. 2), and recorded an 11’0’’ broad jump (No. 2). His overall athleticism score ranked No. 5 among the cornerbacks at the combine this year.
NFL Analyst Lance Zierlein’s overview of Demmings states: “Demmings is capable of mixing into a variety of coverages but is at his best starting from a press look. He has the hips/feet to match route breaks and the speed to stay with routes as they unfold. His recognition and instincts are average from off coverages and he can be a step slow to drive on throws in front of him. While Demmings lacks ideal play strength and is not a firm tackler, his ball skills and man-cover consistency could land him a roster spot as a future CB4 with gunner potential.”
