I heard Devin McCourty discussing this with simms back at SB week.
Nick Saban plays either mostly man or mostly zone defense depending on his cb skill level.
If the cb's are top caliber, he plays man. Lesser talent he plays zone.
Alabama played zone this past season.
The clemson, toledo & michigan corners all rate higher than koolaid mc arnold per Devin McCourty. I trust him above mel kliper & Daniel Jeremiah.
That clemson corner put up great tape, and then became the fastest timed defensive player ever at the combine- 4.22.
Nate Wiggins.
Michigan corner is Mike Sainristil. Played wr at michigan before converting to standout cb so a bit raw- but a ball hawk & contested catch winner.
Most of the corners this year timed at 4.5+ in todays nfl. That is a tad slow unless they are big enough to play press.
