From today's ESPN chat:

I know it's early, but am I the only one who could see Malcolm becoming a shutdown corner? The plays he made in the 4th qtr before the interception on Matthews (who was constatly burning Arrington and Logan) were pretty spectacular, including the Tyree II catch.

That's a big jump, but I know at least one person in the organization whose opinion I respect who thinks the potential is there. Sort of reminds me of Brent Grimes in a way - former undrafted guy who elevates to that level.


Someone needs to tell Mike Reiss to quite stealing my best material!
