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.

Dee Milliner Scouting Report
Holy Shit!! Milliner's "40" Time was insane!!
Sorry.
But it was!! Hah!!
Anyway...
Processing Speed ~ Absolutely phenomenal. Whether in Run Defense or Pass Coverage, Milliner Rapidly Reads & Reacts at blistering speed, and seems constantly a step ahead of everyone else.
Verticity ~ Awesome. Milliner is blessed with sweet, serpentine Verticity, and can Turn & Burn with the best'f'm.
Run Defense ~ Magnficent. Milliner takes to Run Defense with the sweet, savage voracity of a MidFielder.
That's "LineBacker", to you Earthings.

Prospectus
I can't say enough about DeMarcus Milliner.
This is a guy who clearly simply loves playing FootBall, and has a genuine Gift for it.
He is a brutal, violent Run Defender.
He is an athletically Gifted Pass Defender.
He is a wily Opportunist with great Ball Skills...but never forgets that'is first job is to prevent Completions.
He is a brilliant, fanatical Student of the Game.
He relentlessly pursues Perfection in every little detail of every Aspect of the Game.
And he trains hard, studies hard, and plays hard...at all times.
I don't generally attribute nearly as much Value to Corners as virtually everyone else does...But Milliner is special.
