What is a "true cornerback"? Is it defined by size/speed, skill/ability, what they played in college?

Moot point... the author clearly meant that the players in question were all natural corners, which is incorrect in the case of Mr. White.

He lined up as both, but entered the draft as a safety as far as I'm aware.

It would be a player who is listed as "active" on an NFL roster with the letters "CB" next to that player's name in the position column and receives a paycheck that allows the team to list him at a position because they wrote said paycheck...

Thank you. Not sure how someone argues whether a person is a "what" or not, them when asked to define "what", says the definition is moot.

Example : I am a natural assh0le. By skill, size, speed, and I did it in college; and as you pointed out... My wife says I am.
