Patrick Johnson has been the most hyped cover corner I can remember to be honest with you.
And the hype for these kids grows every year. RP had more hype than Peyton Manning and Kevin Faulk combined. Hype = hype and that's all. Lets at least wait until they step foot on campus before we start declaring who will redshirt and who will play and who will start.

No one's saying he'll start off the bat. We're arguing he more than likely won't redshirt.
From the original post

Possibility both are starting by Nov. 8th.
BTW, I like how you slipped in "No one's sayin he'll start off the bat."
Does anyone here remember Darryl Johnson or Nick Child? They were supposed to be our Sean Taylor and Champ Bailey. Not saying PJ will not be good, but just realize it's hard for true freshman to play, much less start and that redshirting is a real possibility. Hell, it's better to have the possiblity of having PJ for five years than to burn a redshirt if Jai, Hawkins and Jones solidify themselves as starters.

The best thing you can do is watch his film... try to find a copy of the Army All-American game and see if you feel differently about the possibility of him getting serious PT as a true freshman. I hope like everyone else that Jai Eugene, Chris Hawkins, and Phelon Jones are solid contributors at CB, but I do absolutely think that Patrick Johnson is by far the most physically gifted of the corners we have... and he's gotten rave reviews from coaches and recruiters about how far along he is mentally.

you can't compare those two to patrick johnson, they're nowhere near the same caliber recruit. many people consider patrick johnson to be the best cornerback prospect of the modern recruiting era.
