Plus, you have guys like Chekwa, Clifford, O'Neal, and Scott who saw time last year too. Isn't the most improvement usually made from year 1 to year 2? Now, I don't want to give you the idea I expect them to be as good as the '98 secondary because that's asking a lot but I don't think there will be as wide of a gap between them as you seem to suggest.
EDIT- Our secondary will be so deep I even forgot to mention Amos who was pushing for some serious time before getting injured. Pentello and Evege are the wildcards. |
Beat me to it. Not saying that we will have 3 future 1st round CBs, but you know Jenkins will be one barring injury (knock on wood), Washington has the potential to be a first day pick for sure, and who knows how much improvement Clifford will make this off-season.
Jax, I'm not saying MJ is one of the greatest corners at
OSU by any means, but I think he deserves a little more credit than a nice solid player. Antonio Smith was a nice solid player.
