The player earned an invite to the Senior Bowl that year and didn’t do his prospects any harm after putting his versatility on display, with scouts watching, slotting in at both CB and safety during the game.
He helped the South clinch a 16-15 win over the North as he led his team with four combined tackles.
He then went on the NFL Scouting Combine, where he completed all drills, save the short shuttle, which he opted out of. He went through it at Tennessee’s Pro Day, however.
Sutton was ranked the 15th-best CB headed into the draft by ESPN and most analysts predicted he would be drafted in the third round, which turned out to be the case.
The Lions will urge him to turn himself in to the authorities following the posting of said warrant.
