Pretty sure several teams avoided throwing in his direction.

Im sure they did, much like PP. But zero interceptions is baffling to me. I just heard this on radio last night, maybe its not that big of a deal but it stood out to me.

Interceptions is hardly a good measure of a CB who plays copious amounts of man coverage. You don't get many interceptions as a player or a team when you play lots of Man coverage on the outside. Teams that play more zone get more picks. Its just the way it is.

You have to evaluate the film and look at what he was asked to do.

Majority of the teams didnt avoid him. Justin Blackmon abused him that game. I did see him drop a couple of picks this season and also Nebraska plays a lot of man coverage also which is harder to get interceptions compared to someone who plays a zone scheme.

Key to getting interception while playing man coverage is errant throws from qbs getting pressure from blitzes.

damn near every mock I've seen has had PP higher, and as a CB. I've seen one mention him as a possible safety, but then I've seen that on Prince as well (which was surprising). most of the safety talk with PP has gone away during the season.

both are great cover guys and should be top 10.

not NFL people but this is a pretty credible mock draft site. Certainly has some NFL sources.
