Yup, its part of being a rookie CB. Very few will step in and play at a pro bowl level year one. Its a tough transition from college to the nfl at the position. Not only are you going up against better players, but you see a much deeper route tree, and offensive concepts. I am really high on diggs, but with any rookie CB expect some growing pains.
yeh it's part of being a rookie ,,but its' also part of being a good coach placing players in best position to excel.
-Joe baker had Byron at CB, S and slot his rookie year , flexing and forcing him to elarn various positions and roles instead of tying down
one role and learning to master it , ..
- worse Baker felt Byron was a better safety than CB, and he suffered several years out of place. - until Kris Richard properly put him as a press jam CB.
Coaches damn sure matters.
