Looks like he's slotted for a nickel corner role.

The rookie corner rule applies here

Special teams abilities are off the charts. Four punt return tds last year. 

Converted WR so there could be some two way action in the future

Played for Nick Saban. Bill Bellichick and Nick are buds.

His nickname is Clamp Clampington

Will he be the primary KR/PR?

Is he is only the slot corner or is he starter and then moves to cover the slot in the nickel?  If he only comes in on nickel he may not get the snaps to make him a worthwhile play.

Currently, Logan Ryan and Malcolm Butler would be the starters.

In return yardage leagues, the slot corner role can equal a big points with return yards factored in.

Football guys ranks slot corners high on a weekly basis and I assume this is because a veteran quarterback will key in on them when they're rookies or the weak link. Just thought I would share since most of my drafts are done and I think he's capable of putting up numbers like Pacman Jones. Return yardage leagues are what I usually play in, should of mentioned that in the original post.

I've looked at some of those leagues and don't see him as a top pick. And as JoeSteeler said will he be the primary returner.

Having a hunch is OK though.

Got a pick today in week 2 of the preseason and is handled two punts. Grab this guy in CB required leagues before its too late.
