This is Rambo's predraft analysis...
Weaknesses...
*Leggy release lacks suddenness.
*Press can take his route way off schedule.
*Alabama cornerbacks stayed in his face all game.
*Carries lean frame and below-average play strength.
*Disappointing contested catch success rate.
*Career tape filled with too many easy drops.
*Production bolstered by easy hitch screens.
That's a pretty accurate analysis. Y'all get caught up with stats and fail to realize that NFL scouts are going to translate that player to THEIR LEAGUE...and they have all the uncut game film.
The NFL plays a ton of press-man coverage with big physical corners. It doesn't matter if Rambo had 150 catches for 1700 yards... If they see one game of him struggling with press-man versus NFL level opponents, they're not going to hold him in high regard. A guy like Benjamin gets drafted over Rambo because Benjamin can lose you at the line of scrimmage and leave you eating his dust. It ain't about stats.
At 6'1" 177lbs NFL Corners are going to bully him off of his route. He's tall but light in the a$s.
If you're 5'10" 177lbs it's different because you're probably "sudden" and quick laterally, which helps offset the advantage of a big physical press Corner.
