This kid has to have the boundary corner position locked up, right?
One of the most interesting battles of fall camp will be Young vs Dean (and Jackson?) for the field spot.
ZERO sunshine.
All three (Delaney, Young, Dean) will be on the field for over 50% of our snaps. The interesting experiment to me will be who they decide to place outside or inside between Dean and Young. Conventional wisdom says Dean's length and make-up speed would go on the outside. I think that'd easily make logical sense.This kid has to have the boundary corner position locked up, right?

I thought Dean came in first summer sessionDelaney was the one who kept blowing up route runners during Spring 7x7s, correct? I want to put him on the best guy and beat the crap out of the kid so that he wants to roll up into a fetal position by the second half.

However, I would be really interested to see Diaz try Dean inside against opponents' slot guys.
He's incredibly sticky.
His make-up speed could be best utilized against vertical routes out of the slot.
His change of direction is excellent.
Sure, he'd probably have to be even more of a willing tackler and get accustomed to some "under" zone coverages.
But, for certain packages where the inside DB is sometimes left man-to-man against a guy who's expected to either make a big play or move the chains, I'd love to see Dean help our 3rd down percentages in a creative way.
Also, Young may be smaller, but his ball skills are excellent, so it isn't like he's necessarily a deficiency on the outside.
