Meet R.J. Stanford, Part I

[scpanther22]

BS: Nickel coverage fits his game at the moment while he continues to learn the cornerback position and develop himself technically. He has the ability to be a cover corner down the line, but if you put him up against a guy like Larry Fitzgerald right now, he's going to be overmatched. He's just not ready to handle an above-average receiver at the moment. Until he has more experience in practice going up against NFL receivers, anything other than nickel coverage is not a good idea

Brian Swinney: R.J. has 4.3 speed and it is legit 4.3 speed. That alone should get him a roster spot. Despite not starting full time until his senior year, he did play in all but one game (52 out of 53) in his career at Utah. He saw the field a lot, so he's plenty seasoned.

Speed doesn't get him a roster spot. Hope he shines though.

good find. i like in depth analysis from people who have actually seen these kids play a lot.

i love the return coverage potential here. 4.3 speed ain't a bad thing.

Part 2

He is a wonderful kid with good size and blazing speed," said Pease of Stanford. "Prior to going into the NFL he did not have great hands, but he will work on that as hard as he needs to. He's also a great special teams player. He will make [Carolina's] team because he's a good football player."
