This guy is amazing and I blieve he was a steal at this pick. I believe if he shows the same stuff from college to the NFL he could be an immediate starter.

Sounds warm and fuzzy, but whether or not those attributes translate to the pro game is another question altogether. I sure wouldn't mind seeing it happen though.

Short story: Amazing athlete but was inconsistent playing small ball. He might not have the instincts to be good, but without a doubt he has the physical skills.

Immediate starter? Noway he break into starting lineup any time soon regardless what he shows. Henry and Newman is our fixture and I don't see any rookie, starting over them unless one of the them gets injured.

It'll be a great accomplishment if he even makes the team.

Believe me.....I love the guy's attributes. But there's more to playing CB/WR/S than having a great forty time. So many people, while looking at prospects, make their first look to the forty time.

The NFL cuts so many guys every year that had great forty times.

I think his measurables are enough to keep him on the team. It'll be interesting to see if he can develop.

But starting? If he does, then it would be a remarkable achievement. I'm not saying it won't happen....but the chances are very, very slim.

How about we wait and see what happens in camp.

I have not seen unrealistic dreaming like this since Pete Hunter.

Well ,he better start and that Battle guy better start too or I'm OUTTA HERE !!

 

[dargonking999]

Wow, he's gonna start over Newman or henrY?

One guy who's getting paid somewhere in the 10's of millions

another guy who has given up 3 TD's in two years?

Yea you seriously have lost your mind

 

[big dog cowboy]

Immediate starter? That is a reach.

 

[JackMagist]

Starter? I don't think so.

But he could give Glenn a run for his money as the nickle guy. Though I think it is more likely NEXT year than this year.

That about sums it up I think.

Henry will be (hopefully) healthy again this year and will be one of the better CB's in the league. Only if he is not healthy will Brown stand a chance to take his spot. Everything being equal, Henry's experience and not inconsiderable talent wins out.

He is not going to replace Newman...end of story.

No im saying, theres no way a rookie from a small school, is going to come in and out play Newman and Henry by enough to warrant him starting over either one.

I seriously doubt a 22-23 year old player who has never played a down in NFL, is going to be better than a should be pro-bowler, and good player in henry.

It just don't happen.

Actually that was backup for Three years and starter by the middle of his fourth.

I see this the same way. I think if he shows his worth in TC he will only break the line as a nickle or dime CB. He is very impressive on paper and I would love nothing more than to see him on the make the team and prove to be this best replacement for A Glenn but like Jack stated it will not happen until probably next year. Hopefully he has some very good ST skills that would make him more of an asset.
I am really pulling for him to beat out Reeves or N. Jones.

Three actually, thanks for playing. But what does that have to do with anything?
