If I recall correctly, I believe it was stated early in the offseason that MM26 wouuldn't play any CB, but is that realistic now with Reggie Wilkerson's injury?

At least the first game or two while the other non-early enrollee freshman are getting their feet wet? I don't like the idea of facing Clemson and Carolina with either Devin Bowman, Shaq Wiggins, or Brendan Langley being our Nickel CB and possible starter in the event of an injury.

Does Kennar Johnson factor in here or is he playing safety? Either way, after the Jakar Hamilton debacle I worry about relying too much on him or Fluker.

Haven't been able to keep up as much this summer and I'm just curious if anybody has any idea.

Mitchell is needed with Bennett on offense.

While he might be a good CB for us, it will be better for the team in the long run if guys like Bowman, Johnson, Dawson, and Langely see this as their opportunity to step up.

The plan is for MM to play only receiver. They don't want to Richard Samuel him, which is very legitimate. We'll have Swann, Dawson, Bowman, K. Johnson, Langley and Wiggins at corner. We'll be ok. It's not worth wasting another fall camp for Mitchell practicing with the defense.
