Typical comment from Cardinals fan after Minter signed with Bengals:





Sure sounds a lot like a younger Maualuga. Even with what their message board and fans thought of him. Obviously for us it's still an upgrade, as a young Maualuga is certainly better than the Maualuga we had last year. I guess we'll get to form our own opinions soon enough. Either way, I liked the signing.

Your PFF was from 2015.  Here is what he was ranked (5th) in 2016 and what was said about his coverage:

5. Kevin Minter, Arizona Cardinals (81.0)

Another player with a track record of poor play prior to the 2016 season, Minter had an interesting season in which he had five excellent games paired with four really bad games. In the end, he came out with an above-average overall grade with his play in coverage being the best. If Minter is able to continue flashing those great games and reduce his number of poor games, a few of them marred by several missed tackles (missed 20 in 2016), the former LSU Tiger has potential to become a solid every down LB.
