I wonder why when the NFL can bring in basketball players and turn them into probowl Tight ends
they don't turn seldom used or underperforming wide recievers into cornerbacks
you would think it might help. Most have the size to line up opposite the Pro bowl recievers.
I have seen most cornerbacks hover around the 5'11 or 6' foot range, while most recievers hover around 6'3. ( I know Steve Smith and Harrison are under 6 foot)
They would know the different routes that recievers run and they have the ability to make more interceptions because they are used to catching the balls.
Is it because most recievers can't back peddle fast enough?
I know the Pats tried Troy Brown a few times, but why haven't I seen more teams try it?
Anybody have a guess?
