I think you see swag a lot with cornerbacks, and likely it's a psychological thing I imagine, the league were in now all the pundits ever talk about is how good the wide receivers are etc, I think cornerbacks talking themselves up would get into the head of the receivers and maybe knock them down a peg before going into a game. If you create doubt and fear into the minds of the wide receivers they will likely start over thinking catches, pushing off for edges etc


Just my two cents.
