David Amerson is the Jevan Snead of CBs

[P-L]

He was never anywhere near the prospect he was hyped up to be, but I didn't think he was this bad either.

Amerson outplayed Rhodes last night. Manual didn't throw a ball his way past 10 yards because he basically shut down his side of the field. Amerson held Greene in check all game and did a great job coming up and playing the run.

Amerson is a ballhawk who got abused against Miami and Tennessee on pump fakes and double moves. He didn't get much help from a pass rush in either game. Give a QB 5-7 seconds to scan the deep field and it's going to be a long day for any zone corner without deep help. Some times, I think Amerson always thinks he is the fastest player on the field and takes chances like he is.

I think he runs in the late-4.4's and plays CB in the NFL probably in the a zone scheme. I think he could easily translate into a solid FS - he can be a bigger hitter and has a frame to add 10-15 pounds. One thing to remember is that he is a true junior who only started playing football as a high school junior.

I like a Rhodes a lot too. Both guys are similar. I though Rhodes struggled some with NC State's smaller, quicker WR's - namely Palmer and Underwood. However, he didn't exactly have a pass rush helping him out and did a much better job checking 6'4" leading WR Quinton Payton. I think that if either guys can light up the combine we will see a top 10/15 pick as both guys are so big and physically impressive.

I agree in some ways, Rhodes I think has better ball skills but lacks in true speed and acceleration. Then you have Jonathan Banks, another tall corner who is far more athletic and stronger but lacks in some ball skills I feel in coverage.

Amerson, Banks and Rhodes still in the air if they are moved to safety in the NFL or not. Banks is most likely to stay at corner and honestly is the most physically impressive of the three just looking at him. Amerson will most likely stay as well but will see how he plays later on.

Payton is a solid WR but he gets negative separation against everyone.

Amerson had a good game last night. Probably because there was no vegas money in NC State losing

David Amerson is the Jevan Snead of CBs

that is some harsh criticism
