Brandon Harris vs. Prince Amukumara

[ghst187]

Roy Williams was consensus much higher rated than Ed Reed at this point before that draft too....just sayin....

Prince definitely didn't look like the most fluid CB at the combine but, as others have said, his tape is just outstanding. He only allowed 18 catches all year, he's a stud. Opposing teams targeted him 53 times and he made a play on the ball (INT or PUB) 13 times. A 25% play on ball rate vs a 33% completion rate is just outstanding.

Both good. Both had very good combines, Harris a little better since he was better in the drills. But Princes' tape is better.

Both rarely got tested but the reason Princes' INTs are down is because he played a ton of man to man (press man) this year compared to last year where he lined up a few yards off and read the Qb's eyes and made a break. It's no that he has poor ball skills. He doesn't.

Also, Deion saying Harris was the best at the combine is ok, but his main critique of Prince was he played to high. So did half the corners there including PP.

Prince never played press man, he might have played man cover but he never press the wr. I have never seen Prince get his hands on a WR at the line. All I ever seen was Press play up and the WR step to the side and go.

Just look at the Blackmon game. Prince never got his hands or pressed blackmon.

Prince never played press man, he might have played man cover but he never press the wr..

Yes he has. That's one of the requirements of Bo's ( Pelini ) defensive philosophy, which as a Husker fan, I'm not too thrilled with despite it's effectiveness ( but that's another story ).

What on earth are you talking about? Yes he has. Go watch Nebraska games.

In the film I've scouted of Prince, he is not playing press in the clips, so therefore I have concluded from my watching of film on youtube that he cannot do it. I've been scouting this way for a couple seasons now, so I'm a veteran draftnik.

Sanders said that Harris was the best CB on the field at the combine.

He said that he had the best combine not the best cb.
