Regarding CornerBacks
Verticity.
Literal Translation: Quality or Power of Turning ~ of Revolution ~ of Rotation.
In Fanatical Yankee's Deeply Demented & Twisted View of the FootBall World: A Defender's Capacity ~ or lack thereof ~ to Flip Hips or Turn & Burn in order to Mirror a prospective Receiver as he bolts DownField.
In Man Coverage, Core Strength and Combat Craft play a large role in a CornerBack's Success or Failure.
In Man Coverage or in Zone, you can be sure that Fluidity, Acceleration, Ball Skills, and ~ above all but Verticity ~ Processing Speed impact the Fortune of any CornerBack.
Run Defense is very important, as well.
...At least in my Perception.
But, above all, Processing Speed ~ Rapidly Reading & Reacting as the Play unfolds and ~ particular to Corners above all other Players ~ Verticity...are what carve out the difference between Pro Bowler and Putz.
Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass what a CornerBacks's "40" Time is.
And I care even less about'is "Ball Skills". Interceptions are nice, but just Gravy. The idea is to play Defense.

Darius Slay Scouting Report
Processing Speed ~ Raw, but remarkably acute, considering his shallow level of Experience: A JuCo Transfer who only interned under John Banks for two Years at Mississippi, and who's only started for one. His startling Savvy with such a shallow Resume reveals extraordinary Processing Speed: he'll master this Game rapidly, I believe.
Verticity ~ Magnificent. Turns & Burns like a Gazelle.
Run Defense ~ Heh. Seems he's got better things to do.

Prospectus
Darius Slay has seen his Stock rise rapidly since The Combine, but not rapidly enough to catch up to'is Intrinsic Value. He's weak in Run Defense, but as a Wily, Savvy Route Reader who Rapidly Reads & Reacts to the 21st Century Game and commands phenomenal Flip the Hips Verticity, he commands extraordinary Potential.
