\u2014 RAS.football (@MathBomb) March 18, 2026<\/a> \u201cWhile Demmings lacks ideal play strength and is not a firm tackler, his ball skills and man-cover consistency could land him a roster spot as a future CB4 with gunner potential,\u201d NFL.com\u2019s Lance Zierlein wrote<\/a> as part of an extended scouting report.<\/p>\n He\u2019s come a long way since his freshman season at SFA, when he was in tears.<\/p>\n \u201cI felt lost,\u201d Demmings said at the Senior Bowl<\/a>. \u201cI didn\u2019t understand why I was playing football… [and] I had never been away from my family.\u201d<\/p>\n So, \u201cI looked up to the sky and asked God, \u2018Why?\u2019… probably 10 times back-to-back. And then I stopped asking why, and realized: \u2018Why not me?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Demmings got to test his skill against the big-school prospects during Senior Bowl week. In the game, PFF charged him with 2-of-3 passing for 21 yards.<\/p>\n \u201cMan, you’re going to see a guy of great poise, a guy of great resilience, a guy with dry-erased memory,\u201d he told the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 Draft Show podcast. \u201cA bad play could come, but that bad play is going to stay in that moment. I will move on to the next moment.<\/p>\n \u201cNot only that, you’re going to see my commitment in every play. You’re going to see that hustle and that grit. And you’re going to be able to tell my mentality, because when I line up against a receiver, I’m okay with that being the last thing I ever do on this earth, man. I’m okay with being in cleats and being in a helmet. That’s my last wardrobe choice, because that’s where God put me.\u201d<\/p>\n Demmings has a great story, which he told Justin Melo<\/a> \u2013 now of On SI and formerly with The Draft Network \u2013 before the Senior Bowl.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always had that chip on my shoulder,\u201d he said. \u201cGetting that Senior Bowl invite was a God-empowering moment. A couple of years ago, I wasn\u2019t even playing football. I was mowing grass with my dad on Saturdays instead of playing football (laughs).<\/p>\n \u201cWe had this little lawn moving company. I went from that to playing football on Saturday, and now I\u2019ve accepted an invite to the Senior Bowl. It\u2019s definitely been a God-empowering moment. Surrendering my life to my faith has worked miracles for me. I\u2019ve kept faith in a bigger plan for me. It\u2019s another opportunity for me to strap on the cleats, another platform for me to give thanks for my blessings.\u201d<\/p>\n Demmings production, size and speed should put him into the middle of Day 3 of the draft. Or maybe sooner.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
