First off, he's overrated (not because he's a former uat player). Secondly, being a CB you're taught how to backpedal in Peewee Football. As a baby you learn to talk, walk and then backpedal in that order. Michael Jackson knew how to backpedal and he was far from considered a â€Cover Cornerâ€. $5 says that Coach midget lied to Coach Lewis about Dre's abilities...just like he led to him about Andre Smiff's.
In college ball, I don't think he was overrated. In the NFL, he hasn't even made it to training camp yet. For that matter, I don't even think anybody expected him to start this season. I don't think anybody expected him to go in there completely NFL ready either. He was the 4th DB taken in the draft. So it's not like anybody thought that he was so insanely talented that they just HAD to have him in the top 10 or anything.
And if Kirkpatrick was so horrible that the only reason that the Bengals took him was because Saban lied to them, then they are fucking retarded and need to fire whoever scouts talent. But you were talking out of your ass anyway, so I'm not even sure why I addressed that part of your post. Or any of it for that matter.
