Jimmy Moreland-CB-James Madison

Dman11 · 2019-01-31T10:07:33-08:00

CB outta James Madison. In three seasons, he's put up the most productive statline I've seen from a corner in a long time. Played against the best D1-AA talent in the country, as JMU is usually a top contender at that level. On top of all that, he was at the senior bowl and it seems as if our coaches hit it off with him. The size is a little questionable, but he seems to be just fine in terms of run support and matching up with receivers down the field based on pure coverage ability. I see a slightly smaller Marcus Peters. Projection for him as of right now looks like anywhere after the 2nd round. Looks like a great corner with outstanding instincts in zone coverage. 5'11" 180 pounds

49ers interested in him. This is the kind of guy I hope they target around round 3 or 4. He's a ballhawk who has a knack for finding the endzone once he has the ball.

Always get a smile on my face whenever I think of Pat Sumerall saying "little James Madison" in ref to Haley. I like this kid a lot and am excited we're getting him in for a visit.

Does anyone what the track record is for D1-AA CBs in the NFL?

I mean, in those highlights he looks like he's just abusing QBs chucking it to WRs who less of a clue where the ball is going than Moreland does. I'm just trying to figure out what the odds are that transfers up to NFL level competition.

Not trying to knock the kid, because seeing that many picks is impressive and gets me excited. I am just curious how CBs tend to do, as a position, when going from AA to the NFL.

Didn't it seem like most of his picks were on poorly thrown bubble screens?

Jimmy Moreland is a dynamo from the slot. Dude was the only slot guy who could go toe-to-toe with Renfrow and the slot guys in Mobile. Ball skills for days on tape too. pic.twitter.com/hhtrku30rQ

Jimmy Moreland was one of the few guys who could handle Hunter Renfrow from the slot today. Stop start ability is fun to watch. pic.twitter.com/LapNsnaBFM
