Listened to Shan and RJ interview him this morning and I gotta say I liked the kid and what he had to say. Seems to really value getting better and is really working on stealing a starting job from one of these veteran guys.

Osa and Parsons too. Really like those guys. Proof is in the pudding though. Let's see it in September.

Went from a "bust" to a "reach" to now a "steal" and we haven't even played a preseason game. Well damn lol.

They could easily be talking about how he’s a work in progress, not grasping the D, he’s raw, having a hard time with the playbook, getting burnt by receivers etc etc. instead he at least seems to be going above and beyond those initial expectations. Can’t call him a steal at this point, but it’s been nothing but good news ‘so far’! That’s definitely a plus.

I'm loving it. When this place was going nuts I said let's just hold off and see what he does. If he's a player it doesn't matter where he was drafted it. We also don't know if other teams had him high on their board. I'm rooting for him especially to prove the doubters wrong.

It just feels like now the media is building him up just to tear him down once he looks like a rookie during the season.

amazing if we have 3 young studs at CB in this day and age is a luxury. . . its a long season and depth is key

That's the thing...the football gods have to rain on this parade in some form or fashion. How lucky are the Cowboys to get Diggs last year and then Bossman and Wright all 3 be studs at corner? Something has to give....

Lots of the fans of other teams that are here want to hear that he was a wasted draft pick it is how they roll:omg:
