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.

Oh I 100% agree he won't be Revis an should not have gone top 5.
I just think he can be more successful than Webster and therefore Saban's most successful corner to date.
How I injury prone is he really though. I could be mistaken here but I remember hearing that those injury concerns were being ignored by a lot of teams. I guess his injury report looks worse than it actually is. Maybe I misheard that though. I can't really recall him as being injury prone at UA.
