5th Round (31) - Karon Prunty, CB, Wake Forest
Patriots make their first day three pick, #171 overall, and let’s just say it’s a little off the board. Karon Prunty, a cornerback out of Wake Forest, gets the call.
Prunty is long (6’2”, 190) and fast (4.5 40 and a 6.82 three-cone), who had three different stops in his collegiate career: Kansas, transferred to North Carolina A&T (”coaching issue,” he told us), before finally becoming a Demon Deacon. The Pats were one of four teams that brought Prunty in for a top-30 visit, but the league-wide view was that this was a player more likely to be an undrafted priority free agent, or maybe worth a flier in the seventh round. That’s not how the Pats staff viewed him. Time will tell if they’re right.
