Months before Cincinnati Bengals rookie cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt made his NFL debut, Bengals cornerbacks coach Charles Burks asked Taylor-Britt to make an adjustment.
He asked Taylor-Britt to wake up earlier and meet one-on-one with him every day during the week at 7:30 a.m. Since Taylor-Britt was out for two months with a core muscle injury, they didn’t have any of Taylor-Britt’s game film to go over.
But every morning, Burks found a lesson to share with Taylor-Britt, the Bengals’ second-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Sometimes it was about the smallest details of playing man coverage.
