[QUOTE="easyk83, post: 670485, member: 8895"] This from last year, "He's a big guy so some of the routes cater to him," Van Pelt said. "Some of the routes we run where there's a lot of sudden change in movements, they just don't fit the bigger players. "Not to say that he's not a great vertical threat and can run the post and hook. It's just the build of the body." Janis dominated the Division II Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, where cornerbacks get on the field with 4.65 to 4.7-second 40s. The Packers have worked with Janis to be more physical in escaping press-man coverage from much speedier cornerbacks, and there's tape of him doing exactly that. "He has days where you come out there and say, 'Man, he's just throwing guys around,'" Van Pelt said. "Because he's being physical and using his strength. That's what you like to see."
