What are the possibilities ,we have so much wide receiver talent , that we Try to convert one to cornerback. Noah brown maybe
 
@Whirlwin Right now there is no need for a CB. We have enough on the roster and one on short term IR and another one on the PS.

We may have a bigger need at WR. Gallup, Wilson, and maybe Brown are UFAs after this year.

Teams usually only do this in desperation or early in a player’s career. Don’t you think there is a very good reason for that?
 
the patriots used to use wr troy brown as a cb in some packages.

i'd try noah brown.
as physical as he is...he'd be perfect.

i'd consider cooooooooooop.
as deadly as he is runnin' routes...he'd instinctively know what the receiver was tryin' to do.

i like the idea....as long as its not a permanent switch.

the pats used troy brown...in situations.
the cardinals did the same with larry fitzgerald.

i like the outside the box thinking tho.
in certain situations...i'd try it.
and on offense...on goal-line...i'd use bohanna at fb.
 
Wilie Wood the Hall of Famer DB was a QB
Herb Adderley the Hall of Fame DB a college RB
Mel Renfro the Hall of Fame DB a college RB
Clem Daneils the first Raider to have a 1000 yard season a converted DB
JD Smith the first HBCUer to have a 1000 yards in the NFL a converted DB
Bob Hayes was a RB at Florida A&M, WR in the NFL
Bobby Moore/Ahmad Rashad a RB at Oregon, WR in the NFL
Bobby Mitchell a stud RB with the Browns became a Hall of Fame WR with the Commanders
Charley Taylor a stud RB at ASU, became a Hall of Fame WR with the Commanders
Lance Alworth was a running back, Hall of Fame WR
Paul Warfield a running back, Hall of Fame WR

No reason not to try athletes at other positions,

Ryan Tannehill was a WR.


 
MM's staff didn’t draft Brown, & he may not be as beloved by this coaching staff as he was by Garrett’s. This staff may feel that Brown has hit his ceiling as a receiver in the league, let alone switching positions.
