Auburn cornerback Rayshawn Pleasant is entering his senior season with consistency as the target. He showed flashes of his potential last year, but the update does not identify a statistical benchmark or specific game in which those flashes appeared. Demarcus Van Dyke sees Pleasant taking the next step both on and off the field. That makes this a development story, not a depth-chart announcement. Pleasant’s job now is to make the good plays show up often enough that they stop looking like isolated moments.
