re: DBU origins? Was it Corey Raymond?

Well some of that comes with the teams success and some of it is due to teams not playing a lot of 5DB defenses up until the late 90s. Teams weren’t drafting nickel corners back then, they were taking from the top 1 or 2 guys on a team. Someone like Ron Brooks probably never gets looked at if he played behind James and Walker for example, the amount of players invited to the combine has more than doubled since then.
