kickoff coverage really doesn't translate all that well to defense though,
Disagree completely,if you excel at KO coverage you're always gotta have your head on a swivel and learn to break down on the retuner in the open field. More often than not your still gonna need good vision and lateral movement when in pursuit.

The worry with Kimbrough and Carter isn't about whether they can breakdown and tackle a running back. The concern is whether they're good enough covering in space, which they're asked to do a lot vs. modern offenses. Most of Kimbrough's plays on special teams weren't really happening in space. They were mostly him filling his lane.
Eta: another example is Reuben Foster. He's really good in kick coverage, but got worked when he was out their in base D because he struggles in coverage.
