Herbstreit mentioned Notre Dame receiver Chase Claypool as "another guy who stands out," in addition to Baylor's Denzel Mims, who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds (third-fastest among his position group) at the combine.
"If you get him matched up against certain defensive backs and system to play a ton of man [coverage], I think he's going to win a lot of battles," Herbstreit said of Mims.
Moving to cornerbacks, Herbstreit had plenty of praise for Auburn's Noah Igbinoghene.
He called Igbinoghene "just a tremendous player" who came in as a receiver but transitioned to corner under Auburn Defensive Coordinator Devin Steele.
"I think he has a chance to surprise a lot of people and be a big-time player," Herbstreit said.
He then offered takes on additional corners who may be Round 2 options that could make a difference:
"A.J. Terrell, even though he didn't necessarily play his best on that big stage in the national championship, there's a lot to like about him and his length at 6-1, 195 pounds," he said. "I really think he has a chance to be outstanding. I think Damon Arnette at Ohio State. With all the talk about Jeffrey Okudah, I think he has the chance to really … be a guy you put out on island and hold his own on 1-on-1 coverage.
"And Kristian Fulton [out of] LSU is a guy that also could be a second-round corner that a lot of people get excited about," Herbstreit added.
