The reality is that Horn had to prepare for both boundary positions as well as the slot every game. Surtain played RCB. Studying route tendencies is much easier when you only have to worry about the right side.
Surtain is the better wrap up tackler. He runs behind piles most of the time though while Horn has much more willingness to stick his nose in.
Horn outproduced Surtain in terms of completions, completion percentage, YPA and TD while having the worst pass rush in the SEC and covering the oppositions best receiver. Surtain enjoted the SECs best pass rush and covered whoever they lined up on the right side.
Horn is a better athlete in every way. Faster, quicker, stronger, more explosive.
Surtain's floor is higher because he needs to be taught less in terms of technique and timing but Horn's is not much lower and his ceiling is much much higher.
My gosh, I have never seen someone try to pass more made up “facts” than you?
Anyone that has watched just one of Surtain’s games or YouTube cutups can demonstrably show Surtain played both sidelines (LCB/RCB).
What do mean Horn outplayed Surtain, lool?
Over the same amount of time (2018-2020) Surtain has:
- (i.e. lower) completion % against
- Significantly lower QB rating when targeted than Horn
- Gave up less TDs despite playing 900 more snaps than Horn
- Far fewer penalties than Horn despite playing 900 more snaps
- More interceptions
You clearly haven’t watched a single snap. Surtain has covered DK Metcalf, CeeDee Lamb, Pitts, S. Williams, et cetera.
But please, trot out Surtain’s high school 20-yard shuttle again.
