Mile High Report :: 2013 NFL Draft Prospects: Jonathan Cyprien Scouting Profile

The Denver Broncos interviewed a few more prospects than I knew about until recently, when Colinski enlightened me with Draft Countdown?s list of hopefuls. It revealed six additional players for us to look at and so we begin.

Jonathan Cyprien is a Strong Safety out of Florida International University (FIU). A 6?0", 209 lb. 4-year Senior, Cyprien is ranked 2nd out of 147 Strong Safety prospects in the nation and 44th overall in 2013. He is projected to be taken in the 2nd round this April. His pre-Combine 40 Time is listed as 4.56 seconds. Cyprien got some exposure at the Senior Bowl. Enough to draw notice from everyone.

BIO

#7 Johnathan Cyprien
Major: Physical Therapy.
Arm Length-30 1/2"
Hand Length-10 1/8"

The North Miami Beach native earned honorable mention All-Sun Belt notice as a true freshman, had an excellent sophomore campaign and didn?t have a significant drop off in play for his final 2 seasons.
In 2012, Cyprien drew enough recognition with his play to earn a Senior Bowl invitation. On the way to becoming FIU's all-time leading tackler (365), Jonathan played in 50 games with 13.5 TFL?s, 1 Sack, 28 Pass Breakups, 6 Interceptions including a Touchdown and 6 Forced Fumbles during his time as a Golden Panther. Cyprien closed his career having started every game the past three seasons, and leaves FIU with 45 career starts - the most by a safety in program history.

2012 (Senior): selected to the first-ever Senior Bowl Watch List. Cyprien earned unanimous preseason All-Sun Belt Conference First-Team honors. He started all 12 games, with 93 Tackles, 3.5 Tackles For Loss, 8 Pass Breakups, 4 Interceptions and 1 Forced Fumble.

2011 (Junior): All-Sun Belt Conference Second-Team...recorded 81 tackles along with 5.5 TFL?s and 8 Pass Breakups while starting all 13 games. Jonathan also recorded one blocked kick and 2 Interceptions including one for a Touchdown.

2010 (Sophomore): All-Sun Belt Conference First and Second-Team recognition...led the team with 113 tackles, the 4th-best single-season total in FIU history. Cyprien also had 3 TFL?s, 7 Pass breakups, an Interception and 3 Forced Fumbles. He also had at least 8 Tackles in 8 games.

2009 (Freshman): Cyprien appeared in all 12 games in 2009, earning honorable mention all-conference accolades while starting seven games and finishing second on the team with 78 Tackles and adding 1.5 TFL?s, 4 Pass Breakups, 1 Interception and 2 Forced Fumbles.

After a stellar Senior Bowl outing, FIU?s superstar strong safety is a surprise no more. He?s been the cordial and willing go-to guy in dealing with the press after practices or games; following wins or losses during his time at FIU. Jonathan served as a team captain in 2012.

Cyprien, who has been the top defensive player for FIU for the better part of three seasons, became the first Panther to suit up for the most prestigious college football all-star game (Senior Bowl).

In a recent interview, Cyprien said:

"I graduated already and I learned in college that sometimes it?s not what you know, it?s who you know. Always be respectful to everyone you speak to wherever you are, on the field and off the field. Always be humble; these are things I learned in high school and college."

DRAFT PROFILE

CBSSports | NFL.COM DRAFT

GRADE-84.6

STRENGTHS: Cyprien certainly looks and plays like a Strong Safety with solid thickness throughout his build. He has an aggressive playing style and likes to meet the ballcarrier with a pop and refuses to let up. Jonathan has enough speed and athleticism to cover ground as a zone defender in the back half and line up against slot receivers inside. He beats receiver blocks with quickness or strength. Cyprien can be used as a blitzer on run or pass plays and is capable of overpower Running Back blocks. He has consistently played well against so-called "top" competition over his career, enjoying standout performances in past years against the likes of Texas A&M, Rutgers, Maryland and Louisville, among others.


WEAKNESSES: Some are concerned about Cyprien's straight-line speed. He doesn?t have elite range or the height/length combination to play as a single-deep safety and played a lot of two-deep coverage at FIU. Not a true center fielder, more of a big hitter who takes aggressive angles to the ball and consistently tackles ballcarriers high. Jonathan is quick enough to make a hit after the catch when deep, but is often a step slow in pass recognition coming into his area. His aggressiveness in coverage means he can bite on play action, but also means he will jump underneath routes. He could be better in changing directions and does not recover like a corner if beaten by a quick move off the line or in space.

COMPARES TO: Jordan Babineaux (Titans), Morgan Burnett (Packers)

Cyprien has an extremely well rounded skill set. He combines excellent range and instincts with soft hands. He possesses elite closing burst and he?s always around the football. Cyprien rarely misses tackles and he consistently delivers big hits on ball carriers and intended receivers. Although he has the physicality and movement skills to match up with tight ends, the fact that he?s only six feet tall could give him problems when he?s asked to do so. Cyprien has the ability to play either safety position because of his diverse skill set.

David_Wyatt over at Gang Green Nation has a scouting report on Cyprien as well.

Top 5 Safetys of the 2013 Draft

Jonathan Cyprien (S, Florida International)

As selected by the league?s head coaches, Cyprien was all-conference as a freshman, sophomore, junior and senior at FIU. Not too many college players anywhere will be able to claim that sort of feat. Jonathan has also shown himself to be a durable player. Not only did he start all 12 games in 2012, he started all 45 games during the past three seasons (2010-12). He has started the most career games ever at the safety position at FIU. Cyprien, along with teammate DE Tourek Williams, will join former FIU alumni Antwan Barnes (2007), Chandler Williams (2007) and T.Y. Hilton (2012) as the next players to reach the NFL.

The Denver Scouting staff must have seen something they like about Cyprien, since they interviewed him at the Senior Bowl. This kid is a hitter with leadership skills, humility and the savvy to deal with the media and he certainly won?t be an off the field problem. With a degree in Physical Therapy, he will be ahead of the curve on taking care of his body for the long run. Could this be an upgrade solution to Mike Adams? Jonathan would be cheaper, younger and he likely couldn?t do much worse than Adams did this year. With the stir that Cyprien made during the Senior Bowl and the week leading up to it, he may indeed end up as a 2nd round draft pick. In my opinion, the Broncos shouldn?t consider him until the third round. However, Cyprien probably won?t last until the 123rd selection and should go in the 85-95 range.

Go Broncos!

Microsoft Surface Pro on sale February 9th in the US and Canada, starts at $899

Microsoft Surface Pro goes on sale February 9th in the US and Canada

So it won't arrive in January as originally planned, but better a little late than never, right? Microsoft just announced that its Surface Pro tablet will go on sale February 9th in the US and Canada, with wide retail availability beyond just Microsoft.com and Microsoft Stores. As you may have already read, the device will start at $899 for the 64GB model, and $999 for the 128GB version. Whichever you choose, a pressure-sensitive pen comes in the box; the keyboard does not (that'll be $120 or $130, depending on whether you get the Touch or Type Cover).

Also on February 9th, Microsoft is going to start offering a 64GB standalone version of Surface for Windows RT for $599 (the 64GB model is currently sold as part of a $699 bundle with the black Touch Cover). That's good news, we suppose, for folks who prefer the tactile feel of the Type keyboard. Or, you know, who have their heart set on cyan. Additionally, Surface RT will soon be available in 13 more markets: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. All told, that more than doubles the number of a countries where the Surface RT is sold. So, Western Europe should pretty much be set now.

Finally, in addition to those two tablets, Microsoft is introducing a bunch of accessories, also slated to land February 9th. These include three limited edition Touch Covers with funky patterns drawn on (we don't know about you, but we especially dig the skulls). It's not unlike the way Microsoft already sells artsy versions of its computer mice; indeed, a Microsoft rep told us the company intends to release even more special editions, the same way it keeps swapping in new mouse colors. Finally, Microsoft also announced the Wedge Touch Mouse Surface Edition, which is basically the regular Wedge mouse, just done up in the same finish as the Surface tablets. That will cost $70, while the limited edition keyboards are priced at $130 a pop. Hopefully we'll be hitting you back soon with a full review but for now, we've got shots of both the tablet and the new accessories waiting just past the break.

'Death Wish' director Michael Winner dies aged 77 | Showbiz | GMA ...

LONDON- Flamboyant British film director Michael Winner, best known for the "Death Wish" series of the 1970s and 80s, died at his London home on Monday. He was 77.

In a statement released to the media, his wife Geraldine said: "A light has gone out in my life."

Winner, who reinvented himself in recent years as an outspoken restaurant critic in the Sunday Times, had been ill for some time, and revealed last summer that specialists had given him 18 months to live due to heart and liver problems.

He said in a later interview that he had considered going to the Dignitas assisted-dying clinic in Switzerland.

Winner's movie career spanned some 40 years and more than 30 feature films, including the successful Death Wish series starring Charles Bronson as a vigilante out to avenge family murders.

He worked with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, including Marlon Brando, Robert Mitchum and Faye Dunaway, but his success was overshadowed by a divisive image in Britain as a pompous bon viveur who did nothing to hide his wealth.

According to Winner's official online biography, actor Michael Caine once said of him: "You are a complete and utter fraud. You come on like a bombastic, ill-tempered monster. It's not the side I see of you. I see a man who has a tremendous artistic eye."

In its obituary, the Daily Telegrah wrote: "Flamboyant, often boorish, he was, in many ways, his own worst enemy."

Early interest in showbusiness

Born in London in 1935, Winner took an early interest in showbusiness, writing an entertainment column aged just 14 which was published in 30 local newspapers.

According to his website, he studied law and economics at Cambridge University and worked as a film critic as a teenager before entering the world of movies full time in 1956 when he started marking documentaries and shorts.

In the 1960s Winner focused on comedies like "The Jokers" and "I'll Never Forget What's 'Isname", both of which starred Oliver Reed.

The following decade he moved on to crime capers like "The Mechanic" and "The Stone Killer" before the commercially successful Death Wish, which was released in 1974 and spawned several sequels.

The original movie proved controversial for its portrayal of urban violence, but Winner defended a film he always knew he would be best remembered for.

"Death Wish was an epoch-making film," he told the Big Issue charity publication last year. "The first film in the history of cinema where the hero kills other civilians.

"It had never been done before. Since then it has been the most copied film ever. Tarantino put it in his top 10 films ever made."

He later turned his hand to food criticism in a typically outspoken column for the Sunday Times called Winner's Dinners. His last column appeared on Dec. 2 and was titled: "Geraldine says it's time to get down from the table. Goodbye."

Winner, whose appearance in adverts for insurance coined the catchphrase "Calm down dear, it's only a commercial", founded and funded the Police Memorial Trust following the murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher outside the Libyan embassy in London in 1984.

More than 50 officers have been honored by the trust at sites across the country.

He was reportedly offered an OBE in the Queen's honors' list in 2006 for the campaign, but turned it down, saying: "An OBE is what you get if you clean the toilets well at King's Cross station." ? Reuters

NEW YORK (AP) ? From nearly unstoppable to nearly invisible.

Tim Tebow was two wins from the Super Bowl a year ago. Now, he's pretty much a player without a team ? likely to be released by the New York Jets after one frustrating season and his hometown team in Jacksonville already pulling in the welcome mat.

Even Tebow doesn't know how this will unfold. A backup role on another NFL team? A position change? The Canadian Football League?

"I don't know what my future holds, but I know who holds my future," the devout Christian said in a recent interview with Fox Business Network, his only public comments since his strange Jets season ended.

"And, in that," he added, "there is a lot of peace and a lot of comfort."

Tebow barely played for the Jets last season. "An absolute mess," is the way recently retired special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff described it. Tebow has two years left on his contract, but New York is expected to trade or release him in the next few weeks. So far, destination unknown.

"I can't imagine a scenario in which he'll be a Jacksonville Jaguar," new general manager David Caldwell declared last week. "Even if he's released."

While there's an outside chance Tebow could remain a New Yorker, depending on the whims of the still-to-be-hired GM, it appears highly unlikely.

So, that's two NFL teams down ? the only ones, at that, who showed any interest last offseason when Denver shopped him ? and the 25-year-old Tebow's options appear to be dwindling.

"Tim Tebow is an extremely popular individual ? or, he was," said former Cowboys executive Gil Brandt, now an analyst for NFL.com. "I think his popularity has waned significantly the last three or four months."

The buzz these days belongs to young quarterbacks like Washington's Robert Griffin III, Seattle's Russell Wilson, Indianapolis' Andrew Luck and San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick. It seems so long ago now that Tebowing ? his signature dropping to a knee for a prayerful pose ? was all the rage.

But even Tebow never Tebowed during the regular season for the Jets. Not once. Quite a fall for a Heisman Trophy winner and two-time national champion with the University of Florida, and whose No. 15 Broncos jersey ranked second in national sales to Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers in 2011.

"I think it's fair to say," Tebow acknowledged last month, "that I'm a little disappointed."

The Jets had every intention of trying to make things work with Tebow when general manager Mike Tannenbaum surprisingly acquired him from Denver last March ? after Peyton Manning arrived ? for fourth- and sixth-round draft picks. But once Tebow got on the field, something went woefully wrong.

Tebow went from being considered a key part of Rex Ryan's offense to almost non-existent. Offensive coordinator Tony Sparano didn't know how to use him effectively, and Tebow wasn't particularly productive when he got his few snaps in the wildcat-style formation. He made his biggest mark on special teams as the personal punt protector, and did all he could to hide his frustration at not playing. But the numbers said it all: a mere 102 yards rushing and 6-of-8 passing for 39 yards. And, the most damning stat of all: zero touchdowns.

"I would've liked to see him get a chance," defensive end Mike DeVito said.

It didn't even come when Mark Sanchez struggled so badly that he was benched for the first time in his career. Instead of going with Tebow, the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart, Ryan went with third-stringer Greg McElroy. Tebow now had a bruised ego to go along with the two broken ribs that limited him earlier in the season.

"Every opportunity you get, you want to make the most of," Tebow said a few weeks before the season ended, "and I'd have loved to have more of an opportunity to just play quarterback."

Acquiring Tebow ultimately helped lead to Tannenbaum and Sparano losing their jobs. And, it clouded Tebow's prospects in the NFL. No matter what, though, he insists he's a quarterback.

Eric Crouch, a fellow former Heisman Trophy winner, knows what he's going through. Crouch was Tebow before Tebow, a tremendous athlete who played quarterback at the University of Nebraska but was told he'd have to switch positions to have a future in the NFL.

"I came out of a running attack at Nebraska where we didn't read a whole lot of passing defenses," said Crouch, now a college analyst for Fox Sports. "So, I was probably a much bigger project than what Tebow is. Sometimes you get labeled a running quarterback, but what you want is to be labeled a dual threat or a passing quarterback who can run."

Crouch was drafted in the third round in 2002 as a wide receiver by St. Louis, switched to safety and was in camp with Green Bay and Kansas City the next few years before playing in NFL Europe. In 2006, he played three games at quarterback for Toronto of the CFL. Crouch is done with football now after giving it one final shot with his hometown Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League in 2011.

"Listen, I learned a long time ago that I should've just done what I felt was the right thing to do, which was hold out on people changing me to what they think was best for me," Crouch said. "I was playing quarterback since I was 9 years old. I think the most important thing I would tell Tim is, you've got to listen to yourself on this one.

"There are going to be a lot of people telling Tebow what he should or shouldn't do."

Like the folks who insist a position switch is the only way Tebow will remain in the NFL ? whether that's as a tight end, receiver, halfback, fullback or safety.

"I just don't think he will ever be a quarterback in the NFL," Brandt said. "I think he's really smart, but I don't think he has the mental quickness at the position. The second thing is, he just is not accurate."

Tebow, reportedly working out in Arizona with a personal trainer, could still land somewhere in the league as a project for an offensive coordinator willing to learn from the Jets' mistakes.

"He's still worth a try and I think somebody will sign him, but it'll be under the condition that it will be as something other than as a quarterback," said Brandt, who thinks Tebow will stay on offense. "If Al Davis were still here, he'd take him in a second and try to turn him into a tight end for the Raiders."

Or, Tebow could simply swallow his pride, head to Canada and become a huge star there with the CFL's wide-open fields. And then, who knows? Maybe he would come back to the United States ? the same route Warren Moon, Doug Flutie and Jeff Garcia took to NFL stardom.

"There's no shame at all in going to the CFL," Crouch said. "They'd take him right now and he'd get a lot of tape, and if he's there two years, he'd have 50 games under his belt reading defenses and coverages. Let the NFL scouts make their decisions then.

"And, hey, he might have so much fun there actually playing, he might not want to ever come back."
