With injuries mounting in the 2014 season and stud corner Jimmy Smith sidelined for the season, there was an opportunity for a young corner to step up opposite Lardarius Webb. Players like Chykie Brown and Dominique Franks hadn't gotten the job done, Danny Gorrer and Asa Jackson were also injured, so the front office brought in players like Rashaan Melvin and Chris Greenwood to compete with practice squad corner Tramain Jacobs and converted safety Anthony Levine.
Ultimately the player who saw the field and produced was 6"2 corner Rashaan Melvin, who was picked up off the Dolphins practice squad.
