Pro Football-Focus does not do a ton of college player grading, so take this for what its worth.  They note that our UDFA Peters was their highest rated CB in the draft:

 

Garry Peters, CB, Clemson, Carolina Panthers

While White and Hill impressed, it was Peters who finished the season as our highest-graded cornerback. Allowing a mere 233 yards in coverage all season, allowing a mere 0.62 Yards Per Coverage snap in 2014. He needs to work on not being as grabby with contact, something he’ll be flagged for much more in the NFL, but Peters is a rough diamond who could develop really well in Carolina if given time.

This kid could turn out to be our next Norman.

Clemson fan explain to me again why he went undrafted if he's this good?

[dugbug]

Prob because they had #1 defense that year. Helped inflate his numbers surely. But I watched almost all of his games he will earn a roster spot for sure

Has a good shot. White and Byndom are the #4 & #5 CBs, both are also undrafted. Plus only Bene is under contract beyond this season in the starting trio.

4.6 40 so he doesn't have good deep speed. His three cone and short shuttle are elite though so he has extremely good change of direction and short area quickness. Never watched him play much but based on his numbers I'd say he fits best in a cover 2.

They game isn't played in shorts.

Maybe we could move him to safety?

Norman has 4.66 speed. In fact his combine and proday numbers were fairly average to awful. Drill numbers aren't everything.

nice

Him and the other 20% of league starters. I think his lack of speed downgraded him, and even though he was All-ACC, he wasn't a starter until last season. I think he's got a lot to learn.

Dang that's true, Gettleman has been talking about not having a revolving door in the secondary though so I'm thinking Norman is re-signed...but he might be too expensive if he has a big year.
