Amare Ferrell is a safety from Indiana who is ranked No. 40 on my NFL Draft Top 100 Big Board. This comprehensive scouting report analyzes Ferrell’s draft potential, current mock draft trends, and where he ranks among the top prospects.
Amare Ferrell’s NFL Draft Potential
Amare Ferrell is one of the more well-rounded safety prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. At 6’2″, 200 pounds, he’s long and explosive on the back end, with a sound pedal, fluid matching skills in zone, and quick click-and-close reaction overtop route breaks. He has a vast technical palette in terms of how he can move to respond to routes, and he’s also very reliable coming downhill in run support to make tackles.
There are occasional lapses in coverage communication and role responsibility that Ferrell will have to iron out, but that comes with the territory at safety. Overall, aside from good-not-great long speed, Ferrell doesn’t have too many holes in his game, and he should be able to take on coverage and support roles without much acclimation in the NFL.
CFB Week 9 Update
In a dominant showing by Indiana’s offense and defense, Amare Ferrell wasn’t stressed too much by UCLA’s offense. He managed space well in zone coverage, came downhill with urgency in support, and tackled with sure form in the open field. Ferrell continues to check boxes, but the big games for his stock will come later in the year, in the College Football Playoffs.
