Godwin had 2 catches for 39 yards and 1 TD. The 20 TD reception was defended by Gareon Conley, not Lattimore. Lattimore held Godwin to 1 catch for 19 yards. And again, Godwin was selected very high in this year's draft.



That was just a great play by Godwin, even if it had been against Lattimore it would have been a TD probably.

Lattimore was widely seen as OSU's #2 corner last year actually. It's not a huge "knock" as Conley was also taken in round 1

But Kiper said he struggled with press coverage


Kiper being a complete fricking moron who is way more wrong than right aside, it's true he isn't great at the actual act of pressing but still played close and in the end only gave up 7 catches and one td.

This is with Conley and Hooker, also first round picks, playing on the same team. So either they respected Lattimore enough to not throw his way often despite two other first round talents surrounding him, or when they did he rarely gave up anything. That's less than one catch a game given up.
