I found myself thinking of the sports science show he was on. Where they proved he can react to the ball faster. His reaction time is just plain sick. He'll probably be a bit conservative this year as he's a rookie ... but if and when he's ready I can see interceptions by the bucket load. That he can tackle is just the cherry on the sundae.

Hey, cool! I saw that epi long before the draft and had completely forgotten that it was DM until you posted this. Giggety.

Whether or not he has bad hands, I know the Patriots work on drills with their DB's and LB's, so I hope his hands (and all the others) get better.
The dodgy hands assessment is based on old evidence; low interception production in college. Maybe he had bad hands or maybe they never threw his way. Maybe his hands have improved.
For what I have seen, he will be able to get into position to make picks; can he hold on? Should be interesting because I suspect he will start and teams will be testing him early.

I really don't care if he doesn't get picks due to bad hands if the WR isn't getting the ball the defense is winning the battle hands can trained, instinct, speed and physicality can't. I prefer my DB to have more uncoachable intangibles than coachable ones.

I agree! If DMc is trying to catch the ball, and drops it, it means the receiver doesn't have the ball! Meaning an incompletion

I'm sure his ID has less to do with Shakespeare and more to do with a certain 2001 game.lol I second the award for best sports nickname.
If he keeps making plays like that, in addition to playing the ball as well as he has in coverage, it's going to be hard for the coaching staff to remove him from the lineup.
Some were suggesting he could actually supplant Butler. Maybe they're on to something.
