I coached dbs for a few years (no, I’m not Driskell…).
If you’re going to play man coverage with your corners, they HAVE to be able to be good with their hands and locating the football. Athletes are athletes, but to play man out there you have to have good hand fighters and guys who can read the receiver and know when to get their head around.
Remember when MSU and Pitt were good and it felt like those dudes were holding every play? It’s because they basically were. But they were always able to get their heads around and use their hands in a way that gave them an advantage but wasn’t always a penalty.
We’ve got some bullies out wide.
Honestly I’m not positive that Ben Mo would be any better than 15 and 29 out there right now. Moore especially is the prince we were promised out there. Guy is a physical freak.
