Was White an elite boundary tackler? Those are the things I just don't know about players on other teams.

Marlon had his issues in 1-on-1 coverage, but was as good a tackler and read and space defender as we have had back there in a long time. My GUESS is that we, the fans, see the 1-on-1 issues as a bigger issue than personnel people do. That's all I can figure.

Very good tackler, PFF had him the #1 CB in the country last season.

Here's their scouting report

quote:

Improved tremendously in coverage from 2015 to 2016. His NFL passer rating allowed dropped from 114.4 to 60.6, his touchdowns allowed dropped from six to three, and his completion percentage allowed dropped from 57.7 percent to 41.7 percent.

Really solid tackler in 2016, especially for a defensive back. Missed just five tackles, ranking in the top 21 percent of all cornerbacks with at least 500 defensive snaps this year.


Outside of the A&M game had a great season. After 2015 there was a lot of doubt surrounding him so he came back for senior year and just showed out.

Lawson threw up 35 reps on bench. That couldn't hurt his draft position.
