We had a WR on our team that was 6'6", 220 lbs. He was ranked only behind Julio Jones and AJ Green as a WR. Me being on the taller spectrum for a corner, I never had any complaints or issues playing press-man to man against somebody like that. I can put my hands on them. It's easier for me to track them and I can compete for the jump balls. A small thin receiver though? Man to man gets a little more difficult. I say all that to say that Lattimore can run that press man all day against Metcalf, Evans, or Hopkins...but when you run across Lockett, Jett, Higgins, etc. you have to make an adjustment and sprinkle some zone into the equation. You can't run with those guys all game and eventually they're going to double move your ass for a TD.
