Obviously this is a highlight reel, so take it with a grain of salt, but his athleticism translates to the field for sure.
My favorite example of production concerns in college, courtesy of NFL Hall of Fame voter Ron Borges.
On a day when they could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson or the second best tackle in the draft Kenyatta Walker, they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour who had 1 1/2 sacks last year in the pass-happy SEC, and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in the draft Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.

Absolutely agreeGo look up how many Chandler Jones had in college. Traits > production sometimes.
This should be on Borges headstone.
Very unSettling (sorry), but what I hope separates him from Brace is that he appears to love football more than Brace ever did (though he needs to show that he can consistently keep off bad weight), and that unlike Brace, who gravy-trained his rep behind BJ Raji, Settle was a one-man wrecking crew at VaTech....A word of warning: Settle tested worse than Brace in every category.

Ahhh the oh so rare white DB
His father a coach?
Seriously, why are there ZERO white cornerbacks year after year?
Insane to me...I don't even see any at the college levelI think Minitron was the last to do it at all, and Jason Sehorn the last to do it full time.

Are we thinking systemic racism at the NCAA ranks in regards to white corners?
That 3-cone time though. Let's just pencil Reid in for 43, if not 31.
