There are few positions on the football field more difficult to play than cornerback. Not only do corners need to have a very good understanding of the defensive scheme and play, but they also need to have a pretty good idea of what the offense is doing.
Oh, and it certainly has the highest athletic premium of any position as well.
It’s little wonder why teams that favor aggressive defense prize corners with the ability to play man coverage so highly.
Michigan cornerback DJ Turner II won’t be the first cornerback off the board in April’s draft.
