Hairston switched from WR to CB late in his Temple career and became a fifth round pick in the 2017 draft. He earned himself a starting role in nickel packages. Hairston has 214 coverage snaps from the slot and has yet to allow a touchdown; only Tyrann Mathieu in 2013 had more without allowing a score through Week 10.
