I don’t recall him being that terrible at tackling, but their really harping on that on ESPN! My memory is not the best, but didn’t think it was that bad? Their saying he’s a late round pick because of this and Todd “idiot” Mcshay calls him a “buffet” tackler?

They're, not their, and NFL teams don't draft CBs to tackle

Regardless of what ESPN says he will be the first CB off the board. He wont have to tackle many guys if he is a good NFL CB

He’s a lock down corner. Teams know what they’re getting by drafting him.

I think this tackling thing is a smokescreen teams are throwing out, hoping to make Greedy slide to them late in the 1st. I think he’s gone by pick 15.

Greedy is this year’s LSU player that magically has “character issues” crop up on draft night. I can guarantee you.

Only thing Greedy is terrible at is finishing with his teammates.

One of the knocks on Deion was also that he couldnt tackle..still went pretty well for him IMO.
The talking heads just have to stir the pot to fill their time.

Greedy will be no less than a mid first rounder. When he ran the 40 in the 4.3s he locked that up.

That is because he wasn't, ESPN just dogging LSU like they always do!

It's draft season when a player's weakness gets magnified and overblown. Greedy isn't good a tackling, sure. Other CBs aren't good covering WRs, so who you gonna pick?

Because he wasn't. I don't ever remember him being afraid to stick his nose in there. I don't know of any fan who didn't feel the same until the draft process started for him.
