    Those are fixable. Everyone has bad film as well as good.

    Did he have any positive tape? This guy seems like a troll.

    Braddock breaks him down pretty poorly on tape as well.

    Corners are hard to evaluate and most end up bad so Texans won't be the first team to get it wrong if they did.

    Very Kevin Johnson-esque here. Yikes.

    With Colvin being cut I wonder if they move him to outside corner and Roby Colvin spot

    I thought he and Joejuan Williams would be good against TEs.

    Big, physical and not the fastest. He might end up being a safety/linebacker hybrid in a few years.

    He might be the worst Texans' 3rd round pick ever. For a team that sucks at picking in the 3rd round, that is saying something.

    Um. He was playing well. He was a 2nd round pick. You do know he is a Rookie?

    Well this is a pretty stupid assessment being that he’s a 2nd rounder and a rookie being asked to guard a HOFer in his prime

    2nd rounder even worse.

    He was not playing "well". His PFF grade was 36.

    Not many corner come in the league and are able to cover HOFers right out the bat

    Good thing for Lonnie that he excels at holding and pass interferencee to offset this inherent disadvantage. =)

    Gipson was brought in to cover TE's like Kelce. He is hurt. Addae was the 2nd option. He is hurt.
