St. Sure, he played boundary corner in college, but he never played the ball, got away with being overly physical, and relied on putting receivers out of bounds when they outjumped him.
I think that Dennard on the boundary in today's NFL would produce a bad result. They don't allow you to play physical, without ever turning to locate the ball, like they do in the college game. Which is likely why Marvin and company chose to develop him as a slot corner, he doesn't have great length like most modern boundary corners do, but his lower center of gravity allows him to have good mirror skills on the inside routes.
Why wouldn't you want to do that? Dre is making 10 million a year. He 100% isn't worth 10 million a year. Dennard had a better PFF grade (I hate PFF grades) in the slot than Dre did on the outside. Dennard was a physical press corner on the outside that made him a first round pick. He has never been able to display that talent on the outside here. With Dennard and WJ3 you would have 2 really good press man cover corners.
