I am not sure why Bentley gets knocked for his size. His stature seems about average for an NFL corner. I think he will be a good pro and definitely warrants a 2nd or 3rd round choice.
A lot of what he gets knocked for are small hands, short arms, slightly short, a little lean. He gets knocked at times because he played less press coverage and more zone. Also, because he's more of a chop down tackler than a wrap up guy.
But really, a lot of guys fall into those categories. The ones that dont are going 1st round.
Mayock mentioned today he could step into a nickle role today and be fine, that's how good his instincts and skills are.
Don't think he's being knocked for his size. The size comments came into play when it was suggested that maybe he could move to a safety position. Safeties are typically taller and larger (like 6' 0" to 6' 4" and over 215-220 lbs.) and usually are hammers when it comes to tackling. Bill is an OK height, but needs to add a few pounds to be a typical NFL corner. But he is not out of the normal range.
Who are the alumni of DBU that willbe/are in the NFL if one would include Bentley????
