  • @SPfootball36 hey you could very well grow into your body but being very fast they will prob play you at Corner

  • 0:45 second into he already screwed up! "Playing corner, you wanna drop back, then come up to defend the run"

    As a corner, you NEVER worry about the run. Even if it's a toss to your side. It can be a half back pass. Worry about the run when they actually cross the line of scrimage. Leave it up to the D-Line and the linebacking crew to defend the run.
