• It has to be Champ Bailey. His ball skills are outstanding. He can break on the ball. He can re-direct a route. His recovery speed is great. He’s pure. He’s the closest thing to Deion (Sanders) we’ve probably seen. There aren’t a lot of corners you say that you’re not going to go after. I’m going to try all of them. But he’s the best, and the one you should worry about the most. When we played him last year, he made some hellacious plays. I threw one ball that looked like it was going to be over his head and he made a great play on it and tiptoed the sideline. He’s an awesome corner.
