Byrd was routinely the best man on man defender during skeleton drills. That's basically a handicap for the defense that drill is.

He has all Spring, Summer and pre-season to get used to CB again.

Look for him and Callaway to really create some competitive nature.

It doesn't mean they can learn a playbook or put the necessary work in long term, but it does mean they are capable of winning match ups against talented opponents.

JG, Jack Jones, and McKenzie all looked amazing at the opening. Byrd is a great athlete, but he’s still an unknown at corner

You can blame the coaching staff for those guys not looking good too. Plus, the opening is a camp setting, not a game. Byrd looked great in games. He just jumps out at you as a db. Did you watch him play db in high school?

Byrd was a heck of a safety in HS. It was his best position. What he can do at corner is a complete unknown at this point.

Honestly, can’t say I did. Like I said, he’s crazy athletic. Not trying to bash him, but I think our expectations for his first season back there may be unrealistic

And none of them received any real S&C or Coaching

This is said everytime we get a new S&C coach or a new staff. I too am optimistic about the new staff, but some of the things I read on here are insane. The other day someone claimed the previous assistants didn’t care.

We’re projecting just like we would a kid straight out of high school. Would you expect a top 100 cb out of high school to be really good?

He was effective when used. Had a very good freshman year at wr

18 receptions for 236 yards doesn’t qualify as a merely good season...and that’s his total for two seasons.
