Evaluating CBs 

Post#1 » by PhilipNelsonFan » Mon Dec 31, 2007 4:36 pm

How?

This has always confused me since CBs take so much s**t thrown at them. Obviously you have the basic combine categories: height, weight, vert, speed, bench reps, and body type. Then you've got your man and zone coverages and the difference in the player's performance between the two. Then there's stuff like burst, physicality, fluidity of motion, anticipation, tackling ability...

How do NFL scouts prioritize the skills a CB needs to be successful when evaluating the cornerback position (the position that I believe is the toughest in the NFL)?
