[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 611873, member: 9033"] Just curious why neither Randall nor Rollins are suited to play outside. They're both 5'11" and close to 200 pounds. Shields is the same height and actually weighs less than either. Randall ran the 40 faster than Marcus Peters and Rollins ran the 40 0.04 seconds slower. I guess the one knock on both would be that their arms are 30.5" long, which is slightly below average? Randall had a higher vertical jump than Peters but Rollins was about an inch lower on the vertical jump. People forget that Hayward actually played outside corner for a few games his rookie season when Shields was injured and Hayward was actually a pretty good outside corner. Physically, Hayward and Rollins are almost indentical. Same arm length, height and 40 time. The main difference appears to be that Hayward was more nimble coming out of college while Rollins is more powerful (Rollins had slower shuttle times but weighs more and had higher/longer jumps). Randall is also very similar in a lot of ways to Hayward but Randall was quite a bit faster in the 40 and almost as fast in the 3-cone drill (Randall also had a significantly higher vertical). None of the above is to say that either player will be better (or even as good as) Hawyard; Hayward has amazing instincts and ball skills, which is why he's so terrific in the slot, Hayward can use his instincts and agility to jump routes and make spur of the moment decisions in an area of the field where things happen extremely quickly. I would also not be shocked to see Hayward playing the slot and letting a rookie take his lumps on the outside since the Packers should be able to feel pretty good about HaHa playing deep to try and help erase any mistakes. We're also completely ignoring the possibility of Hyde playing in the slot and Hayward playing outside and basically letting Randall play as a dime safety and let Rollins learn the NFL from the bench for a year.
