DB Damon Webb (2017 Cotton Bowl Def MVP, Saskatchewan Roughriders)

[Bestbuck36]

Growing up in Detroit, Damon Webb was a Michigan fan and idolized Wolverines legend Charles Woodson.

So, if he comes in and wins the Heisman while helping us to a National Championship, we'll call it even. BOOM

This kid should be a future shutdown CB and one of the nations best soon enough. Cant wait for him to be the anchor for our DBs

 

[Taosman]

He has everything but a little physical development. We're talking about a Shawn Springs type of talent. He just wants to compete against the best. Challenge all WRs to beat him. Tough kid.

Land-Grant Holy Land's own Christopher Jason gave Webb high praise after watching the lockdown corner in-action:
Webb is as complete of a cornerback coming out of high school as there is in the country. He is the total package; the size, the athleticism, the skill set and the attitude to succeed at Ohio State. Coverage wise he is very physical and excels in press-man. In a 7-7 tournament, Webb was lined up against future SEC Freshman of the Year Laquon Treadwell and Webb made him a non-factor. Treadwell could not shake Webb off the line or get separation downfield.

Webb is physical within the first five yards then sticks to his receiver like glue. He has very fluid hips, which allow him to mirror the receiver and break on the ball quickly. When the ball is in the air he reads the receiver's eyes and either fights through the hands for the deflection or gets his head around to high-point the ball for the interception. In run support, Webb sets the edge very well and loves contact for a cornerback. When it's all said and done, I would be surprised if Webb is not one of the best shutdown corners in school history.

Hype is cheap, but hey, if it turns out like this, Ash will be a hero.

Must be hitting the squat rack hard this spring.

Squats and box jumps, son. The proof is in the results.

I think the player he reminds me of and the player he has a chance to be like is Ahmed Plummer. He's not a physical freak, or dominant in any one category, he's just good at every aspect of the position.

I'd take that any day.

Just keep going back to what he did against the future SEC Freshman of the year, Treadwell, when they faced off in 7 v 7's. Webb was so physical, and just imposed his will on the older WR. Cant wait to see what he can become.

Im really pumped up about this kid, the Bucks have always had that monster shutdown corner...me thinks this young buck is the next to carry that torch, it almost September yet?

Fully agreed. All of this kids film is sick to watch him shutdown some of the top WRs in his class and older classes. Like leroyjenkins said, his film against Treadwell is crazy, especially considering the fact what Treadwell did against the SEC as a true frosh.
