Nice to hear players on defense with a fire. Obviously we missed that from Burfict. I want a guy to want to be the best player on the team, to want to be the face of the franchise.
Remember Richard Sherman? Dude talked all the time and had some struggles, but he kept fighting.
People need to realize that transition from college to NFL as a cornerback is quite possibly the hardest transition to make. Look at Patrick Peterson, the beginning of his rookie season he was getting burned and turned around left and right. But the more time a cornerback gets on the field the beter they get and the more adapted to the game they get.
Plus, Kirkpatrick had as many INTs last year as Claiborne has his entire career; Kirkaptrick also has as many interceptions as Gilmore has his entire career.
But Kirkpatrick hasn't been starting since 2012.
Kirkpatrick has a high ceiling, and it's been that way ever since he was drafted. Cornerbacks just need time on the field, it holds true. Seriously. Go watch Sherman and Peterson in the beginning of their careers. Takes time to transition.
