I want to go back and see that near INT he dropped.

Was that part of a designed rotation of the DBs on that play, did his coverage responsibilities take him in the vicinity, did he just anticipate the throw correctly, or was it just reaction?

If it were the latter two, that would be absolutely fantastic news for the Jaguars.

If he anticipated the throw correctly it shows either his football IQ or his instincts are high.  If it were just reaction, then he covered a ton of ground to get to that pass.

Quote:Harrison was a playmaker at Alabama, posting 174 tackles, 3.5 sacks, seven interceptions and 17 pass breakups in just three seasons. Gipson has seen Harrison's playmaking ability up close and he credits the rookie's intelligence as the catalyst for that success.

"He understands football, and that is one of the things that you look at," Gipson said. "He knows how to play the game of football, and I don’t know if you want to give Nick Saban all that credit. He is just genetically gifted. I am excited to have young guys like that that give us depth. It is an exciting thing like that to be able to coach young guys up. He is quiet, he doesn’t talk much, but when he goes out there he plays, and all he does is make plays.”
