Rookie Natrell Jamerson adjusting to playing cornerback in Saints defense

Natrell Jamerson moves to safety in college and plays lights-out his senior year and at the senior bowl...

Gets drafted by the Saints in the fifth round where Payton and Dennis Allen move him back to cornerback?!?

Maybe a square peg in a round hole? I hope we don't relive those days. Looked like a promising safety.

Probably just testing their versatilities... when is the best time to unearth hidden capabilities?

My guess is they will play him at both positions and then decide where he plays the best and where the team needs to play him.

Read an article that stated Saints scouts had a vision for Jamerson on the boundaries (cornerback). He could show well at camp & ultimately become a #3 at CB behind Latt & Crawley or even a punt returner (has sub 4.4 speed). One thing in his favor is versatility, speed & played good special teams in college. Boston Scott will have competition here. Unless NJ falls apart in camp, I could see him pushing Devante out of a roster spot.

XVI could probably provide us more insight on Natrell (Wisconsin playing days) though.
