I've been clammoring about Don Carey for a while. My cousin goes to Norfolk State and he's a bigtime football fan, but he likes the ravens. what an A-Hole. He does say this kid has amazing coverage skills and knocks the ball down all the time. I've been putting him in our 7a in most mocks.. I'd even take him in the 6th round..
Don Carey made himself even more popular as a late edition to EAST WEST shrine game, where he impressed many scouts including knocking down the potential game winning TD.
heres some notes...
[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-2]01/16/09 - EAST-WEST SHRINE STANDOUT: CB Don Carey, Norfolk State: Another small-schooler turning heads against FBS prospects. The 5-11, 186-pound corner played physically, refusing to back down in coverage or run support. He unquestionably showed the best recovery speed of any corner this week; even if the receiver ran a great route that put him off-balance, Carey quickly got back into the play. Honorable mention: Cary Harris (Southern California), Ryan Palmer (Texas). - Chad Reuter, The SportsXchange, NFLDraftScout[/SIZE][/FONT]
Don Carey (Norfolk State) looked good Tuesday morning, breaking up multiple passes. Carey displayed good recovery speed, so even if he wasn't quite on his man route immediately, he usually got back quickly enough to prevent the big play. He was also physical on the line against Aaron Kelly (Clemson). - Chad Reuter, The SportsXchange, NFL Draft Scout
Positives: Adequate height and a fair build throughout for his frame. … Plays physically at the line and in coverage. … Good straight-line speed and excellent recovery speed. … Gets back into the play even if a receiver makes a nice head fake to get an advantage. … Very capable of reading the quick screen or supporting the run on the outside. Negatives: Lacks top-end speed and great strength. … Will be a little too physical at times, might be susceptible to pass interference calls. … Gets moved too easily by receiver blocks. … Played against a lower level of competition and must speed up his recognition. … Inconsistent hands for the interception.
In years before that he started at safety and cornerback and even earning rookie of week honors..
He's a team captain and vocal leader, smart student, was accepted into Yale but couldn't afford it.
I've seen some sites like drafttek, footballsfuture and others that have him going to us in 7th round..
The 7a would be worth it..
I hope he impresses our coaches..
