WR to CB

This is not that big of a stretch as most people would think. Remember when Deion Sanders was recruited to FSU he was a QB, that Bobby Bowden said would be better served as a CB. Also LSU has done this several times, under Nick Saban Corey Webster moved from WR to CB due to injuries and Michael Clayton actually did it in the Cotton Bowl Game against UT, as well as Morris Claiborne was moved from WR to CB at the behest of Patrick Peterson, fellow Cornhusker alum Prince Amukamara did the same thing previously and he has transitioned quite well and we all know of Richard Sherman. So the precedent is there for greatness if he works hard enough. I don't think they'll rush him into the position but they will give him every oppurtunity to learn from Champ and Keenan and as far as the knock that he is soft, I read in an article that he was kicked out of a game for targeting, so he's not soft. This kid can be special, we just have to give him the proper teaching to help him achieve greatness. Plus since he used to be a receiver, when he gets his hands on the ball he knows what to do with it, unlike other DB's who simply look to knock it down, he'll look to score.
