Because he is more athlete than football player. But that is what I want out of my late picks always
Also iirc they drafted him to play RB
So, a few notes on B Will
- They drafted him based on athleticism. He played several positions at Houston, but never saw the field a lot at any one spot. Jack of all trades, master of none kind of kid.
- If this guy sticks it will be based on long term developmental potential and ST abilities.
- He will be initially listed as a S, which is why Coyle and the DB coaches worked him out. As of draft day they are developing him there and NOT at RB. He is athletic enough, and big enough at 5-11, 200 to do lots of things.
- I think the Bengals like their 4 safeties a lot, but recognize the need to bolster ST and develop behind guys.
