Malaki Starks draft profile, scouting report
Starks' versatility, football IQ and commitment against the run make him a top talent regardless of position. He didn't test well at the combine, but his talent is undeniable. — Ayrton Ostly
Starks was a three-year starter and two-time All-American who lived up to his five-star pedigree right away for a team that won the national championship. The 6-foot-1, 197-pound safety was employed all over the field for Georgia last season as a nickel back, cornerback and on the back end of the secondary. Starks made highlight reel, acrobatic catches in high-profile season openers in 2022 against Oregon and 2024 against Clemson in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, displaying his ability to high-point the ball, but made fewer game-changing plays overall in 2024. Durable with 42 straight starts. — Marc Weiszer
