    Well, to be the contrarian here, Grant was only in the 12-14 PD range one year, in 2002 when he had 13. The only time he had more than 3 picks was in 2001, when he had 5.

    He has struggled in man coverage at the Pro level.

    Not 100% for sure thing to happen, but at least hope that maybe he can bring more of his strengths from the college game to the Pros.

    Again, I don't think he was a cover guy in college either. He didn't tackle well in college.

    A lot of write ups will take what they see in a practice on a cone drill, and not tape.

    Not all true. He was second on his team with 69 tackles his final season with Stanford. But true never a staight up cover guy in college either.

    Doesn't mean he was a good tackler then, just because he was high in numbers. Many scouts noted he was a willing, but poor tackler.

    69 tackles doesn't dispute that he doesn't tackle well. Is there a missed tackles stat? :D

    So that's a "no, I don't have that stat for you, because it's bullshit"?
    Trust me, I can look up stats. You haven't even been able to show me you can actually look up passes defended. Just show me the stat.
