I challenge anyone who criticizes Herndon to go back and watch every defensive play. If you have all 22 or just YouTube on your computer or cell phone, just go back and see what you see.

He gets rrrrroasted. That is a fact.

But look at the plays where he causes the back to turn back inside, look at how he plays fundamentally in double coverage. Look how he re-routes some of the quick stuff. He’s a willing tackler, and seems to play with a team first attitude.

I see posters saying “Herndon is trash, etc.” but I can’t agree with that. I’m sure he didn’t run up to the coaches and say Hey guys I want to man up with Cede Lamb this week. Herndon is not a starting caliber player but he’s not trash, that’s all I’m saying.

I like Campbell, but if he’s our best CB then he needs to lock up and travel. But back to Herndon…on that 3rd and 6 play near the goal line he had his man blanketed and defended the play perfect. And on the walk off, game winning pick, Herndon had an effect on that play from jump street.
