Joe McKnight to see extensive time at corner
Jets RB Joe McKnight is moving to cornerback "in a near full-time role."
This is apparently the Jets' plan to offset the loss of Darrelle Revis. "He’ll have a role on offense, but we’re also teaching him how to play corner," coach Rex Ryan said. "Not quite a full-time capacity, but he’s going to be over there a ton in the meetings and everything else. ... He has the necessary skills to be able to play corner. He’s got the speed, the size, the athleticism, the ball skills." McKnight was a star corner in high school, but that was over half a decade ago. The move speaks to both the Jets' increasingly flawed roster, and McKnight's disappointing production at running back. He's officially off the fantasy radar for good. Bilal Powell is locked in as the Jets' No. 2 back, and a major threat to Shonn Greene's workload.

He should have done this from the start, in college. Could've been a dynamite corner.

Mea culpa. I did mistake the two but do know the difference between the two.

I always said McKnight was a CB

They actually have drills where RB and WR are running routes and covering one another at USC. McKnight has unbelievable hips and coverage skills in those videos.

Haven't been following. Does anyone know if McKnight has gotten any PT at CB yet?

For some reason, that cracks me up. Over half a decade ago? Just seems like they're trying to make it seem really long, when it's only been 6 years or so.
