Snell41 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 He had zero technique. He spent his entire collegiate career using his athletic skill to beat lesser athletes. When he hit the NFL athleticism didn't matter without technique, and his injuries never allowed him to develop technique. And when he won DPOM people forget he was burned multiple times where a receiver dropped the ball or the QB overthrew him. And his INT's were gifts. He didn't do anything spectacular during that period.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a good athlete, played at the top school in the nation and completely bombed out. Work ethic? Some guys bodies just break down faster than others. Didn't he have half a dozen surgeries while in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was first half of his rookie season. Again he was rehabbing an injury from bama. Second half of season he played a lot better. 2nd season Achilles tear.

Lupz27 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Injuries was the number 1 reason for him busting. That said, Nick Saban does not teach his CB's to play the football, the rules are different in college, and grabbing, and hand fighting is tolerated, also the back shoulder fade is not executed like it is in the NFL so you won't get burned all game with those. This is why I say HELL NO to the Alabama CB Humphrey in this years draft, he is projected to be a top of the 1st round pick, and you will have to start all over teaching him proper technique needed in the NFL.

bealeb319 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 It amazes me that not a single team has signed him yet obviously he is a risk with his injury history but he was a good prospect gotta still be worth a low risk deal to see if you can get anything out of him.
