Travis Daniels

Corner or safety I saw him in the senior bowl playing corner and he looked pretty good but I hear talk of him playing safety for us any thoughts.:confused:

saban said hell play corner

 

[FireInTheNole]

I didn't think he had the speed to play corner.. so they were going to move him to saftey??

 

[BenchFiedler]

He'll play corner and he is allready ahead of schedule in the learning process.

where does everyone keep getting that this kid is slow? Sam and Pat were never burners either... alright I found it... Pat surtains Draft day stats ...sorry about the edit.

Pat ran a 4.51.

I don't want to see daniels is too slow to play corner ever again. :fire:

Very True. Also true is the 4.6+ time Will Poole put up last year.

That’s just what I've heard.
That he wasn't fast enough and he was inconsistent. If I’m wrong it's all-good.

No he is pretty consistent. Not "slow" but does not have top notch speed either. As long as he is not playing man to man against the fastest receivers, he should be fine.

This is what Kiper has to say about our 4th round pick, you gotta love it.

The sleepers
A few guys who despite being unheralded talents could eventually become contributors in the NFL:
Travis Daniels, CB, Miami, 4th round – New Dolphins coach Nick Saban coached Daniels at LSU and knows Daniels has ball skills. He was helped by a 4.45 in the 40 at his last individual workout and would not have lasted much longer if the Dolphins had passed.

Saban knows the kid. He will be a player for us. Plus look at the situation last year in NE, you cannot have enough CB's on your roster or players who can play the posistion. I firmly believe that all 6 picks will make contributions this year. Brown, Roth, and Crowder might very well either start the year as the starters in their posistions or end up there by the end of the year.

He ran a 4.45 forty in his personal workout prior to the draft, thats fast enough.

 

[Smithboy]

True.

4.45 is plenty fast enough and is faster than both Surtain and Madison ever ran.

Saban likes big physical corners.. Step in 6-1' 195lb Travis Daniels..Saban said he would have taken Corey Webster to play corner had he been there in the 2nd so I would think he would want Daniels to play corner too.. GreenMonster
