in what round would you all take a chance on a 5'9" 185 lbs Corner Back?
most would say i wouldn't touch him until Day 3, strictly based on size
but there is this kid out of Louisiana Tech that i'm completely memorized by at the moment
Amik Robertson
i don't think i've ever seen a CB with this type of play-making ability at this position
i mean an absolute nose for the football
he diagnoses underneath routes to perfection
any short route caught is stopped relatively immediately because of his lightning quick burst towards the receiver on such plays
instinctually, he reads route combinations extremely well... which allows him to break on obvious holes in the defense that turn into, more-often-then-not, interceptions
his ball skills are off the chart
his reaction to Wide Receivers hands when the ball is in the air are off the charts
his tackling is textbook in reference to his size and properly protecting himself
guys...
i think we may have found Professor X's Counterpart!

Freshman Year (2017) - 62 tackles (51 solo), 7.5 TFL (2 sacks), 6 PBU, and 5 INT (1 returned for a TD):

its rare to come across a skilled Corner like this
undersized or not...
