Talking about football IQ, I just came across this interview with the New Orleans media. Around the 5 minute mark Alontae is asked about the difference between playing nickel and playing outside. It is a question EVERY DB should know, but not all of them can verbalize/answer as fluently and precisely as he did. The way he answered (talking about leverage, using the sideline outside, and the spatial difference of playing in the slot) shows A TON about this kid's football smarts.
Dan I noticed how articulate the kid was talking to Bobby Hebert and Mike. He seems like a smart kid and quite knowledgeable. I was impressed. Think he'll turn out quite well
