Who is this guy and why is he listed above Banks? I didn't hear a single word about him all season.

He's more athletic. They (FSU) would have had an absolutely loaded secondary had Reid not been kicked off prior to season. Tomorrow is a big day for Banks. His top end speed has always been a bit of a ? with him. Big difference for a CB at 4.45 and 4.55.

True. But there are 2 or 3 different kind of corners just like there are any position. Richard Sherman ran a 4.55 and has the same measurables as Banks. How many teams wish they would have drafted Sherman?

ETA: There were 7 CB's taken in the first 2 rounds. Sherman was taken in the 5th. He's better than anyone in that draft and arguably the best in the NFL. You'd think he would shed some light on guys like Banks. Maybe not. I'm going to be pissed if he goes in the 2nd round.

Richard Sherman is not the best corner. Not even close to Revis.

Sherman excels at what we have never seen Banks do - press man. Until we see if Banks can play press man, he's not similar to Sherman except in height,

That's crazy talk. I don't like Sherman, but he is a beast. Whether he's better than Revis is debateable, but there is no doubt he is right up there with Revis if not better than Revis. I agree that he is better than Revis.

The Jets without him this year proves he's overrated. They didn't allow a receiver to have 100 yards at least through 14 weeks. I think Revis gets the benefit of playing in a division without a lot of good receivers.

Good point. Plus, what in the world is Banks going to do to keep Julio Jones from catching a football?

That doesn't prove ****. All it proves is coaches are good, the oter players were good.

Those who think Revis is overrated don't know **** about corner. He had a five year run as good as any cb in the modern era including the lock hall of famers - Deion Champ CWoodson. Revis can play ANY coverage and did it against Calvin Andre et al.
