Jalen Myrick's Speed

#1

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-videos/0ap...since-2008

at about the 30 second mark of that video it shows that Jalen Myrick has the 5th fastest 40 time in recent years. I knew the kid was fast but WOW!! that is eye popping speed. I hope we find a way to get this kid more involved. He looked good in the limited action he got as a DB last year (albeit a small sample size). If Colvin doesn't re-sign with us do you think this kid is ready to step into the nickel role or will we have to draft a replacement?

Also I'd love to see him and Grant back there on kick offs, take your pick on which speed demon you want to take the ball up!
Championship Formula:

1) Draft Trevor Lawrence!
2) Play good physical Defense! 
3) Keep 91% of the roster healthy!
4) ???
5) Blank #2
6) CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Myrick has tremendous speed, but was raw from a CB skills standpoint, dropping him in the draft. Although he did play well in a limited number of snaps, he likely needs another year of development before the team will rely on him in a starter-type role.

I wasn't impressed. Yes, he has speed, but I didn't see the instincts needed for the position. He appeared to lose track of his guy more times than I like.

You draft guys like that late for special teams.

He can't tackle at all. The only nickel CB currently on the roster is Patmon and he is a back up guy who can come in and play well. The Jags need 2 new corners. One for nickel and one for the outside as a backup to Bouye and Ramsey in case they go down.

Myrick hasn't impressed me at all. Even with his speed. Just bc a guy has speed don't make him a return guy either. He's not built to take licks like Grant on returns.

He's just a guy for now.
