How do teams evaluate players who don’t just push the boundaries of their physical thresholds for positions, but wind up as significant outliers?
The New York Giants seem to ascribe to the belief that size is not a skill, but other teams are very strict in their size thresholds. That could make the draft stock Mississippi State’s Emmanuel Forbes extremely dependent on the team scouting him.
Forbes is one of the most — if not the most — productive defensive back in the country. Not only is he a sticky coverage player, but he is a big play threat with 6 defensive touchdowns in his career.
