Verret's only private work out was with, guess who?

Recommended Posts

Jason Verrett has everything you would want in an NFL cornerback – fluid hips, a great burst and a cool nickname.
 
The only thing Verrett doesn’t have is size.
 
A 5-foot-9, 189-pound former Texas Chrtistian standout, he is quick to point out several other short-statured defensive backs who’ve had success in the NFL.
 
“Captain Munnerlyn, Brent Grimes, Tyrann Mathieu – all those guys are Pro Bowl-caliber guys and make a lot of plays,” Verrett said Wednesday. “Being that they’re about the same stature and size, it only motivates me even more to make plays on the field.

 

 

Verrett got his chance when Don Gregory, the Panthers’ college scouting director, and secondary coach Steve Wilks flew to Fort Worth, Texas, in March to work out Verrett the day after TCU’s pro day.
 
It turned out to be Verrett’s only private workout before he had shoulder surgery March 17 to repair the torn labrum he played through during his final season at TCU.
 
“Definitely if Carolina wants to take me, I’d love to be out there,” Verrett said during a phone interview from his family’s home in northern California. “I felt like I killed the (dry erase) board work. I understand their defense and their scheme and places where I would fit, whether it’s in the nickel or even on the outside.”

Would love Verrett and have thought for some time he would be the pick if there. I even listed him first in an earlier post from today of D players that wouldn't annoy me for that reason. We didn't replace Captain and Verrett is a helluva lot better, younger, and cheaper.

    • And those targets are mostly going to TMac, who will be a part of the FUTURE of the team. Did it remove the most reliable WR and Bryce's safety blanket? Absolutely. But it's also allowing him to build better chemistry with TMac, Stephens, Horn, Evans, etc. I am pumped to see Coker back and hopefully they can reignite that connection. 
    • It's the same thing that made Bryce the #1 overall pick. I've never seen such mass delusion about a football player before. Everyone convinced themselves that the fact that Bryce was below to severely below average in practically every physical attribute for an NFL QB just wouldn't matter because he has everything else you need and that'll more than make up for it. When has such an argument ever been made for an NFL prospect before? We watch prospects plummet every year because they run a couple tenths slower in the 40 time than expected. Smitty had everything you want in a receiver except he was 5'9" so he goes in the 3rd round. That's the way these things generally go. If you check a lot of boxes but leave some key ones unchecked you're not an elite prospect. With Bryce though, the physically limitations were always obvious so it gave more time to be able to build that into the equation and come up with reasons for why he'd be able to overcome it. Now we have all these same shortcomings having shone brightly on the NFL field and we STILL have people trying to convince themselves he'll be able to overcome it while ignoring that our past two wins and his improved play have come while riding the back of RB putting up GOAT RB production over the past two weeks. What changed wasn't Bryce. What changed is that Rico is playing out of his damn mind. Pretty much every NFL roster caliber QB can shine if he can get 200+ yards out of the RB behind him.
