Tried to search him in the zone but came up empty. 6'0" 200 lbs 40yd dash in 4.4s-4.5s. Seems athletic and agile enough to play corner. What do you guys think???

Helped himself with a good East-West Shrine game too.
I'm a fan of his. Wouldn't mind picking him up in the 2nd or 3rd round, especially if we lose Rogers.

I'm curious to see what he will run at the combine/pro-days.

Really? Must've searched only by thread title and not thread content. He's been hugely discussed here actually. Lot of fans think we should consider taking him with the 2nd or 3rd round pick (if still available -- and he may not be).

I would not be opposed to adding Norman if we lose Rogers. Really like the player. Big, physical, can run.

It all depends how he does in the combine. I wouldn't mind him with 2nd round pick at all, he's very aggressive and has a great deal of potential as well. Everywhere I look, people talk about how fluid he is, how well he moves his hips...etc, the guy gets lots of praise for that which is great to hear.
Ths Kid may actually turn out to be the best CB in the draft...He took away half the field in the East-West game...He sticks to his man one on one tighter than a shadow and has very flexible hips. He amazed all the scouts with his Ball-hawking skills. A solid combines could actually move him into the first round...I sure hope he is there at the end of the second round for the 49ers
worries me a bit that coastal carolina has only had 2 players drafted in the nfl previously
he did play with "eh" schools but theres no denying that ability he has. Those interceptions are insane!!!

They've only had a football program since 2003. They're just infants to football. But of the 5 that have played for NFL teams, 3 of the team have had extensive playing time (Jerome Simpson, Tyler Thigpen, and Mike Tolbert). So it shows that the kids can play some.
Will he be there at the Niners 2nd pick? Where is he projected to go?

This. Kid looks like a very talented corner with all the skills to be very good in the NFL.
He's going to go much earlier than a lot of fans think, simply because he is a good corner with good size. This draft is overloaded with 5'10" corners. Being 6' is a huge difference, especially as the list of talented WR's in the 6'3"+ area continue to grow.

I have him pegged at number 57 overall right now.
