Demetrious

Cox

Cox (6’0/200) made 25 starts in the Spartans’ secondary – 16 at safety and nine at corner – and finished his career with 5.5 tackles for loss and four interceptions. Draft analyst Tony Pauline reported Cox had first-round grades from NFL scouts before his senior season, but he struggled in 2016 and wasn’t even invited to the Combine. He ran a 4.55 forty at Michigan State’s Pro Day. Cox offers plus versatility and also shined on special teams, but he never developed into a difference maker in the Big Ten. He’ll try to carve out an NFL career as a defensive reserve and gunner.
