Michigan State Spartans cornerback Darqueze Dennard is widely considered the top prospect at his position this year for the 2014 NFL Draft, along with Oklahoma State’s Justin Gilbert, and he is going to be plenty busy as he gets ready to start his NFL career as NFL.com is reporting that he has visits set up with the St. Louis Rams, Cincinnati Bengals, and New York Jets.

Dennard is considered a near lock to be taken in the first round, which is where the Rams and Bengals come into play. Both of these teams can use the help of someone like Dennard in their secondary, and could easily give him a serious look.

While the Jets may be interested, their first-round need points more toward the offensive side of the ball and the wide receiver position, however with the love Rex Ryan has for defense, taking Dennard for his secondary is certainly a possibility, especially considering they missed out on bringing back Darrelle Revis.

Dennard has also already met with the Pittsburgh Steelers who are also said to have some heavy interest in the All-American.
