1) I want to say THANK YOU for bringing on the ground information all the time. I and others appreciate it.
To many of your kind have been alienated by this place and then run away.
With that said- be mindful of what you're actually watching and what setting it's in.
Just turn on the kids film. He's an absolute ball hawk and as complete a CB that has come through the state.
I've said this ad nauseam, about 1 on 1, 7on 7. They are designed for the offense to win.
They literally teach DBs its okay to lose.
Show me a DB that has ever excelled in 1v1 drills without holding.
I remember in high school, 7on7 was just getting popular. Our 5'3 WR that run 4.7, but was quick laterally- absolutely ate up a Mr. Football who was 6'2 190 DB/WR.
Basically these camps are just entertainment. I've personally scouted 2 NFL DBs that never once attended a camp (because of that they had low rankings), and they are both more prolific than your avergage starting NFL CB. One got vote 2 years ago for DPOY, and the other is an all-pro for the Bengals.
Beasley right now is a better "DB" than either were at that stage in their careers.
If this kid keeps progressing and gets to play with a good pass rush, then i would absolutely not be surprised to see him get drafted high.
- plays under control
- stays in the hip pocket
- great balls skills
- optimal size
