Marvin said something along the lines that he’s the most pro ready corner that’ he’s seen and I believe Mike Zimmer called him a “ Leon Hall clone”. He’s somewhat underachieved for a 1st round pick, he was buried on the depth chart his 1st year and has been pretty injury prone. I feel like he doesn’t get as much heat for underperforming because other 1st round picks like Ogbuehi have been so horrific. And other high round picks like Fisher and Ross take some of the heat off him. He’s not terrible ok at best I guess.
That's a fair assessment. Honestly though, how many great college players have we drafted that came in here and underperformed? You could make a huge list.
Some of that is coaching. Some of it is drafting guys that don't fit our scheme.
This is the team that brought in James Harrison to play LB when he's really a 4-3 DE over other LB's because of cost.
