Well I don't really remember Webster at LSU, but I'm a big time NY Giants fan and I have never been overly impressed by Webster. I'm not saying Milliner is better right now, but he has more potential than Webster did.

Webster was a better pure athlete and made more plays on the ball in college (16 interceptions in his career at LSU). He is not a pure cover corner in the NFL, but he has been the MOST SUCCESSFUL corner that Saban has ever produced, closely followed by Kareem Jackson.

Milliner is a smart player who will need to learn better footwork against NFL receivers. He doesn't backpedal well and he faceguards. Same as all Saban's DBs. Sure he has a lot of potential but you could say that about a lot of players. In this case, Milliner's potential is limited by him being injury prone.

I see why he fell out of the top 5. He simply isn't top 5 value. The chances of him turning into the next Revis are slim.
