""(DeVonta) Smith was asked by a fan who the best player he played against during his time at Alabama. His answer? Dolphins 1st-round pick Noah Igbinoghene.""

yeah but all those on finheaven know a lot more than Devonta smith... lol..
 

Lol this article is so well done it doesn’t even have a pic of igbo.

that’s Jamal perry

🤦‍♂️
 
Here's hoping to that potential panning out...

As it stands, the play was lackluster enough for Howard to basically tell the FO that they need to give him a raise or else start Igbo in his place.

😂😂😂.

I'm an Iggy apologist though. For as raw as he is /was..I think his potential is sky high. Even if he played like he was sky high.
 
Cue the whiners, the impatient, and those who just don't understand the draft...

but but but... we coulda had a running back...

sigh
We always see eye to eye here. People make him out to be a Jamar Fletcher. He just happen to be behind one of the best corner tandems in the league. When Xavier went out, nobody in here probably even noticed he came in the game. That is actually a good thing as he didn't make any major mistakes in the game. Either how, he will get better this off-season. Drafting a RB over a potential star at CB in a passing league is a no no.

Hmmm, when I heard the question before I heard his answer, I immediately thought, well it's definitely going to be an SEC guy, why wouldn't it? With the talent of those SEC secondaries, there's a lot from whom to choose. I asked myself whether it was one of the great LSU DB's who had come out in the last 2 years, but no game or player really sprang to mind as having blanketed Smith. I wondered if he had been covered by a Florida guy well, but I came up blank again. My initial guess was that it was going to be an Auburn guy, but I didn't even think of Igbenoghene. After hearing it though ... it makes a lot of sense. Iggy did have good games and flashed high-end potential against Alabama. Iggy does have the physical tools. And, while Iggy was atrocious by NFL standards in 2020, he was pretty elite by college standards the previous couple of years.

To me, this underlines just how big a jump it is from high-level college to basic level NFL as far as coverage is concerned. Almost every rookie CB struggles in the NFL, because being athletic is nowhere near enough to excel at the NFL level ... just ask Tankersley.
