Way back when, 2006 to be exact, Danieal Manning was a second-round pick of the Chicago Bears. He was an instant success as a kick returner but having come from tiny Abilene Christian University in Texas, there were some question as to where Manning would play in the NFL. He was definitely a project coming out of a non-FBS school and having played multiple positions in college.
The prevailing school of thought was that he was a cornerback. Surely at a shade under 5’11” and 202 pounds, he was caught in-between that and safety.
