re: Elias Ricks just tweeted this out

His arms are a pretty solid size, and look at his height and weight. He does have skinny legs, but he’s pushing his weight up to 200, and he’ll get them there. I mean Derek Stingley is built like the hulk, not many dudes are like that. Elias has great size for a CB, he towers over Gurley and you can tell he has a lot of upper body strength.

Him and Derek Stingley on each side will just be unfair. I'm sure there will be a superstar corner emerge that no one knows about that's on the roster right now as well.

Jones and Ward are both very good DBs.

Gurley is thicker obviously but Rick's got some good size

He doesn’t have Keilands calves.

It would be pretty weird for him to play elsewhere seeing as his parents are closing on a house here. Anyone worried about him flipping has a complex that reassurance can’t cure.

Only in height, otherwise, he's got some musculature and weight size to go. Gurley is the much more defined, solid player body wise right now, but that's to be expected with Ricks just being a HS player.
Gurley is an NFL running back. Ricks is a high school cornerback.

Upper body strength means nothing for a cornerback, their legs have to be top notch. That’s where speed and power come from. A prime example is the great Fred Smoot. He couldn’t throw up 1 rep of 225 at combine but he he obviously had great legs and we see how his career turned out.

If you really believe this, then you have no credibility whatsoever.
What the hell is Rick's going to do wrap up people with his legs on a tackle??
Aside from being gay, that isn't how you tackle people, and that's not how it's taught from pee wee right on up to the NFL.
You need to have very good upper body strength to deliver hard tackles and get people on the ground.
Legs do help, but you will never make a tackle being all legs with zero upper body strength.

We took a page out of Duke's playbook with Zion?
