Yep, 175, 180. Somewhere in that range. Best tackling corner I’ve ever seen.

He actually reminded of a kid I played football with for years.  Hell of a football player.  He started at CB for us as a freshman and he was just like Winfield.  Wasn’t a big dude but man he tackled someone they were tackled. Rarely hit  anyone higher than the knees.  I saw him on several occasions just flip ball carriers upside down from the force of his hits.
As far as tackling goes I have to go w/ Woodson there. Also Frank Minnifield as well (though the 2 had very similar games, just personal preference). 

OT: In case you never read about it Woodson's final game at Purdue was legendary. Gawd I wish got to see that game.

None of us saw him play, but Night Train Lane has long held the reputation as the best tackling cornerback.  Totally different role back then I would assume

Darryl Talley (former WVU player) came pretty close.  He was a 2 time Pro Bowler at LB for the Bills who didn’t earn the honor until his 8th and 9th seasons in the league.

On another note, I was a total fanboy of the elder Winfield.  Loved that guy when he was at Ohio St and followed him him somewhat in the NFL.  Just loved the way he played the game.  He was great, and I mean great, in run support.  Very solid cover corner too.
being a lifelong Viking fan, I can vouch or Sr.   Stud!

going cover 0 against arguably the best OL in the NFL and a QB who can throw it deep was not wise. I didn't like going for it either, you can do that w/ a lead or say a bit closer but the Titans O is legit and the Ravens aren't built to come from behind. 

Run D for the Titans has been excellent. They are stopping it w/ 7 man fronts now.

The Titans should just quickly teach him a couple of moves and put him in at OLB/Edge on a say 3-5 3rd and longs every game.

Who was that All-American DB from Minnesota about 15 years ago?  Wasn't he the best-tackling CB?  Wore 22 I think...

not really talking about Jackson, he'd be more effective against statues in the pocket. Just have him bull rush and collapse the pocket for a couple plays when a big play is absolutely needed.  Narduzzi used to let James Conner play DE (granted he did in HS) on late half/late game hail mary's he just blew people up. Henry is bigger and probably a step faster.

Sounds like no Draft extravaganza, but NFL still planning on holding a televised draft as scheduled.  Probably going to get bonkers tv numbers
