Darius Slayton is another example of a guy who looked "okay" to "good" here but has looked excellent in the pros. I'd say the DBs have looked better than "okay to good". Fortunately for DSlay, just about everyone knew that it was because he wasn't being used right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your development doesn’t stop in college, if it did you’re a bust This makes me wonder when Mikey's development stopped...Sorry I couldn't resist. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the only one DL as well. Dee Ford, Carl Lawson, Montavious Adams, Derick Brown, Marlon Davidson, Dontavious Russell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamel Dean and Carlton Davis were good but they've become completely different animals in the NFL. Was a little disappointed with Iggy this year but he's a rookie who is still learning the position. Not really sure I agree with Davis & Dean. Carlton was a 2nd round pick and Dean not far behind. Davis especially was very very good for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not counting Davis and Dean because they were drafted early day 2.

Peyton Barber is another. Left school we all thought....went undrafted and somehow has made it in the NFL as a sturdy reliable power back for TB and now Washington.

Quote "Dreshun is a big-time player that was one of the better corners in the country last year," Harsin said. "He has great instincts and is tremendous in pass coverage. He will give us much needed experience and depth in our secondary." 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of developments, tell us about this most recent time when you said you were leaving this board for good and then came slithering back within a few days. That was quite some development right there. Was that the fourth time you've pulled that trick or only the third? Somewhere along the line I lost count.....Sorry, I couldn't resist. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting though that he will not go through spring practice at WV either, so that is total down time which is not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus one of the reasons he said he wanted to commit relatively quickly is to get our playbook now & start learning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLoofus 35,182 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Sorry if already discussed but is it reasonable to view this commitment as a positive indicator of the impact we hoped that Mason would have? And a positive commentary on the reputation that a lot of us thought he carries? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
