Robert Stafford commits to the U

Jun 30, 2022

Eau Gallie (Melbourne) CB Robert Stafford gives Miami its third blue chip commit in the past week. He has solid size for a high school corner (5'11, 171), but his athletic background is what separates him. Last year, he caught 42 passes for 605 yards and 5 TDs at WR and also played hoops. His verified testing numbers confirm his athleticism: 4.54 laser (fastest at the camp), 34.5 inch vert (best in camp), 4.28 shuttle and a 122-inch broad jump that is above the NFL average for corners. He's also been timed as fast as 21.53 MPH.

If you're looking for a Miami comparison, his combination of twitch, quickness and overall coordination reminds me of Corn Elder or Sam Shields. Huge addition for the staff:

So we definitely shouldn’t mention that Addae was his primary…

From Friday's win against Bishop Moore - Stafford continues to flash on offense, defense and special teams. EGHS now 3-0 on the season:

Pretty sure that's the same camera man from our last game on the ACC Network.

Most underrated player in the class. Having an outstanding senior year. Brings a playmaking edge to the corner room that is missing.

I remember people the saying the same thing about Chris Graves

Any reason why we’ve yet to see him on the field?

He played both ways in high school and may lack the polish to not get burnt deep for 98 yards by an mtsu receiver

Even with good news you can't stop the barrage of stupid negativity repeating the same **** over and over like they're funny

What's your comp here @DMoney ? I've seen him play live twice this year and I don't recall seeing someone look like they are moving in slow motion (leg/arm speed) but still accelerate and outrun everyone else around them. The word "smooth" comes to mind, but I can't think of a similar comp for a 3-way athlete who makes plays on offense, defense and special teams the way he does.

I think the comparison is the old corner Sam shields
