I don't worry about this like everyone else is going to. This guy has the tape and he played in, probably, the best conference in Division-1 football for three years. Teams shy away from throwing into his coverage, but still has ridiculous numbers to show for. He saw 143 passes thrown his way in three years and 32 of those were either picked off or defended. Has size for man coverage, can mirror receivers, and can play in both man and zone-scheme. You can overreact to this 40 if you want, but he still only gave up two touchdowns in those three seasons, so he's doing something right, which makes me think he likes to study film and perfect his craft, but he plays faster than that time shows. You know who this guy plays like and compares to a lot? Another CB that played for Wade Philips in Aqib Talib. I think he'd be an amazing fit in this defense and they'd be lucky to have him as he was once being projected in the top-15 for so long. Caring too much about a 40 is how you miss on great players.
This type of 40 is a legit red flag for a CB...but it could also get someone a steal.
Just a total wtf type number this year. Not sure if I can think of another time/jump this year that made me really want to reevaluate a player....for a negative, I often gladly watch guys who surprise with good numbers.
