[QUOTE="SoonerPack, post: 608548, member: 9838"] Bro, this is absolute truth right here and I totally overlooked it. "I am a corner!" "NO, son, you are a safety." "OK." That is a helluva compliment to the young man for doing the team thing rather put his own goals and desires ahead of the team. It's been pretty well documented that the corner spot has grown some WR-like diva tendencies over the last 5-10 years and most of them play with the word that starts with S and ends in G (I refuse to say it) and enjoy the look at me spotlight. I get it as the position is much like a closer in baseball as it's you and that's it most of the time. You have to handle your business or get torched for all the world to see. You need a short memory and confidence by the truckload. I am not saying there aren't other DB's that would do the same I am however saying that it's rare for the upper echelon ones to do so. This kid didn't just say "I will do whatever will help the team" but actually did it and it looks like it paid off for him. This is one of the reasons I noted Blake Bell (TE from OU) as one of my sleeper mid-late round picks yesterday. He was the QB and for the betterment of the team and at his coaches request moved to TE and instead of wearing the don't touch me red uniform in practice he was hooking up with DE's and OLB's working on pass-pro.
