While I don’t agree with his rank, he had some impressive individual numbers.

He's possibly the current regimes best find.

God, I hope he continues to grow and get better

 

[Travis34]

He really turned it up as the season progressed... I'm looking forward to seeing him next year even more

 

[traptses]

If he builds off of how he finished the season, he will be an elite shutdown corner

 

[Phinatic8u]

He followed the teams best WR a lot of games too, makes his stats even more impressive.

He’s a good one.

I wouldn't be upset if we traded up for Minkah Fitzpatrick immediately following a run on QBs and Chubb/Barkley go.

I hope Kirk Cousins makes a decision quickly once FA begins.

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

If you think about where he was half-way through the season, that ranking indicates he may have been the top guy in the second half.

Loved how he finished the season. His game against New England was one of the best I've ever seen from a Miami corner, especially when you consider the rules in today's game.

If it meant future assests sure, but we will need our other early picks for sure too

PFF had him 115th out of of 116 at one late point in the season. Lol.

You need a laugh track as you see their “grades.”

Hopefully we get the X from the second half of thetseason, and not the X of the first half.

He’s a good one.

But he's no Tankersley, right Clemson?

Tank had a solid rookie year with his circumstances.

I think he’s going to develop quite nicely.

No question he came on later in the season, and considering how much he was injured as a rookie, that makes sense. But, no way he was the 6th best. And, it's worth noting, that he was very handsy and got away with a lot of uncalled stuff later in the year, that was worse than stuff called against him earlier in the year.

At the end of the day, I'm excited that he seems to be turning the corner. But, it is the looking forward part that has me excited, not the past performance part. I've been a huge X. Howard fan since before we drafted him, and I sang his praises pre- and post-draft. So I'm very happy to see him turning the corner. With the good flashes Tankersley showed, plus X's late performances, and the positive improvement Lippett showed last year and this past training camp ... things are looking up in the CB department.
