That's some pretty freakin' sticky coverage, and he certainly doesn't mind making solid contact for a CB.

 

[bldrbbott]

highlights are highlights, and the QB play is lower level, but both of those interceptions are travis hunter style reads where he leaves his own man to snag balls on players for whom he doesnt have responsibility. what i'm trying to say is there's something special in his processing (and quite honestly, for all the clear athletic gifts, I never saw our former 5 star player read the game like that).

which leaves a couple of questions: is he athletically up to the P4 level? were the QBs so bad that he could read the plays (but wouldnt at P4 level)? was he so talented in coverage that no one challenged him and his only opportunity to make plays was going off his coverage?

anyway, looks promising and happy to have him fight for a job and play a role with this team.

Adam cleared up some confusion on how many games Yates started at Furman with this tweet and included a free article with it.
