DJ Ivey 7th Round Pick to Bengals

I’ve said it before… if he is allowed to press and be physical he’ll do okay. With emphasis on “okay”… play him off the ball and he’s “baked chicken”.

Let him play press and continue to give him confidence like it appeared in that clip and he will be an ok player that makes the 53 honestly.

There has been glimpses of him looking like a 4 star player..tx am last year he looked real goood and closed out the year solidly. With his size and likely special teams ability he just may make it and thats on a good team in cincy.

Noah Igbinoghene is likely going on his 4th nfl szn. This dude was one of the worst 1st round corners ive seen and hes made it this long...i would think if DJ keeps this up with no injuries he likely does make the squad their cb roster aint exactly murderers row​

Noah is terrible and would’ve been cut three years ago if he wasn’t a first.

Did you watch him at Auburn because I have no idea what the GM saw? I don’t see first rounder just on physical abilities.

i have no clue what Grier saw there...he looked like sh*t to me at auburn...but could run a bit cause he has atrack background...any time is aw him at auburn he was grabby as ****.

I called him a bum the minute his name went up.

But looking back at that draft...the **** cbs have all been terrible.

In the first 5 you have Okudah (bust TRADED) CJ HENDERSON (BUST TRADED) Gladney (traded, bust, died) Damon Arnette( bust, crack head, turned rapper) and Noah.....SHEESH

The Dolphins couldve stayed pat and drafted Trevon Diggs who was easily the best cb in the draft or even Kristian Fulton from LSU in the second as well.

Track time. They saw an athlete with elite track time. You’re talking about the same FO that signed Byron Jones. Obviously he went the opposite direction than Byron did.

lol I think he is saying he was cheeks here and everyone was calling for the next man up then he goes to the NFL and becomes a baller. Basically UM was cursed/developed him like ish.

First, Ivey turned into a great kid overall. He had some growing pains when it came to maturity and made mistakes but he seemed to learn from them and take it to heart. His issue still is when the lights come on and he needs confidence/validation. Not a kid you can constantly coach hard and expect results but that scares me for him as a CB. You need to have a short memory, you will get beat, and once Ivey is beat once I am afraid it gets into his head and the wheels start to come off.

Seeing him ball in practice is not surprising. He went through a lot of coaches here and all of them saw something there and practice did not translate to the game unfortunately.

Oh ok. But what Ivey does in practice in cincy doesn’t mean much of what he did or didn’t do in Miami. Also, 37 CBs were drafted out of over 400 who submitted For the draft, Ivey being selected as one of them is a testament to the coaching staff at Miami. Elias Ricks, the number 1 CB out of high school at one point, a student of T-Rob, wasn’t even drafted.

They just let walk one of the worst corners I've ever seen in Eli Apple. Not only was he trash as **** but he talked **** like he was Revis. My brother in law is a big Bengals fan and he hated him. I think Ivey will be alright

My son is a baseball player and I watch things to get him better. One former major leaguer said the number one thing that makes you a great player is confidence. It seems simple but even NFL player lose confidence. It seems like his goes out the window when messes up. That's when you need a good coach to boost you up and a sports psych that helps you overcome issues.

That's kinda a crazy prediction to make. There's plenty of DBs in the league that doesn't have great speed.

Well basically his only other attribute is size

The kid has average ball schools, doesn't mirror well, isn't physical, and just no general feel how to play the game.

Man, I hope he does exactly that. We haven't exactly been giving our players the absolute best chance to succeed.

Buuuuuut here's to hoping that starts to change sooner rather than later.
