Senior Bowl Positional Detail: Corners

North Squad:

1. Darius Butler, 5-10.1, 178 lbs.- Moves great, but doesn't have great ball skills. This will be his downfall, since he does everything else well.
2. Victor "Macho" Harris, 5-10.7, 186 lbs.- Plays much bigger than his size would indicate. Plays fearlessly, with a chip on his shoulder. He's the type that needs to be drafted based on his attitude. He rubs off well on other players. He's another rat. He knows what he needs to do to get better. One of my favorite players.
3. Deangelo Smith, 5-10.4, 191 lbs.- Leaves you wanting more on the playing field. Doesn't play the ball well, doesn't play his man extremely well. Didn't tackle extremely well. He was disappointing during the Sr.Bowl.
4. Keenan Lewis, 6-00.5, 198 lbs.- Plays very nice press coverage. Very physically imposing. Can match up well with most receivers. Needs to improve ball skills.
5. Mike Mickens, 5-11.0, 176 lbs.- He has a nice pair of hands, but needs to play better in space. Better in press coverage than off-man.

South Squad:

1. Coye Francies, 6-00.2, 179 lbs.- Really underrated, and came into his own when he showed up in Mobile. Is definitely a cover two type, but shows athleticism and nice ball skills.
2. Alphonso Smith, 5-08.7, 193 lbs.- Might have been the best player at the Senior Bowl all week, along with B.J. Raji. Was extremely dominant in coverage. Outstanding ball skills that will define him. Great tackler, there isn't much more to ask for from the corner position.
3. Ellis Lankster, 5-09.1, 191 lbs.- Struggled in coverage a bit, but doesn't lack in the effort category. Moves very well, and plays alot of press. Needs to play better in space.
4. Domonique Johnson, 6-01.4, 192 lbs.- Great size/speed combo. Very raw skills-wise. Might be a late bloomer type. Must keep an eye on him.
5. Sherrod Martin, 6-00.6, 197 lbs.- Also has great size and speed. Flashed during coverage drills. Showed some hutzpah.
