Coming out of Valdosta State as a former wide receiver, Stephen Denmark was unlikely to be in the spot that he was in. Fortunately for Denmark, he switched to cornerback at the right time and turned out to be a pretty decent cornerback.
However, playing at Valdosta State, it does not matter how great you are at cornerback, you will not turn many heads. Yes, it is the size, height, and athleticism of Denmark that has so many intrigued with what he can do in the NFL.
Of course, all that got him was drafted in the seventh round.
