I thought he did good at WR. Needed to work on ball security and his hands need to improve but he has the moves.


IMO his biggest issue is that Rodgers and Powell are better WRs. I was expecting big things out of Powell this year, he was impressive last year. With Rodgers drawing rave reviews and the elephant Hunter out there we're stacked at slot WRs.

Don't get me wrong RR can be a starting WR for Clemson without doubt but he needs to show he improved his hands and security to replace Scott. Luckily he already has the physical tools to be a very good CB. I think he'll succeed either way.

Doubt it. A 5'9"-5'10" CB is not sought after


Aug 5, 2017, 8:21 PM

He has more NFL potential as a slot WR. He just needs a solid couple of seasons. I could see him in a Sproles-like role.

3 of last year's Pro Bowl CBs were 5'10".

All other things being equal, taller is better, but all other things are usually not equal.

sorry, I have to disagree. The kid is an amazing athlete and as explosive and fluid a runner as you will see, but his hands and ball skills are hit and miss. He will make an amazing over the head grab in stride, then drop and easy swing pass on the next play. I have yet to see him put it all together and have a complete game in his two years here. He would have decent games against lesser competition, but was non existent in all 4 playoff games. Great players step up in the big ones.

from the little I saw of him as a corner in HS, he was lock down, physical, and glued to his man. I saw him decleat a TE 2x his size and shut down elite receivers. I think he found himself in a situation where he was a solid backup here, but with what we have coming in his playing time will be significantly diminished at that position. He is in a tough spot because we are also very deep at corner which is why it seems Swinney is looking for every opportunity to put him on the filed, either as a returner, a corner, or wide out. If he stays at receiver, he will be Rodgers backup this year.

Agree. Ray Ray has huge NFL potential at DB.


Aug 5, 2017, 8:30 PM [ in reply to NFL is calling*** ]

If he could do it, would be great for his career.

What top NFL CB's are 5'10"?


Aug 5, 2017, 8:41 PM

I honestly don't watch a lot of NFL, but I couldn't name a single starting CB that is Ray Ray's size. Meanwhile there are lots of slot receivers and scat backs that are his size. I think this move is just for fun since he can't work with the WRs right now. I would bet he doesn't stay over there.

Jason Verrett, Chris Harris, Brent Grimes, Janoris Jenkins,

all recent Pro Bowlers, all 5-10.

Mackensie Alexander is 5'11"


Aug 5, 2017, 8:54 PM [ in reply to What top NFL CB's are 5'10"? ]

First search found Pittsburgh Steelers have 5 DB 5'10" or shorter.

Top ten CB according to this site (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000775730/article/xavier-rhodes-leads-top10-no-1-cornerbacks) has two listed.

Janoris Jenkins 5'10"
Brent Grimes 5'10"

Again, just a quick search.

Aug 5, 2017, 8:55 PM [ in reply to What top NFL CB's are 5'10"? ]

Hargreaves and Verrett are top corners at 5'10". Casey Hayward is 5'11", and those are just a few of the best at CB.

I actually think there's way more of a market for 5'10" corners than receivers.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It can't hurt


Aug 5, 2017, 8:56 PM [ in reply to Agree. Ray Ray has huge NFL potential at DB. ]

I'm a firm believer in cross-training.

Re: Rogers likely pushing as well


Aug 6, 2017, 2:36 PM [ in reply to NFL is calling*** ]

Seeing his tape and ability to run routes, sure hands, and thicker size for the slot receiver versus Ray Ray's size.

Gonna need a bigger set of backfield players to guard the young QB.

This could be an excellent opportunity to learn the WR position from a different perspective. "Know your enemy"

Re: FB Update: Clemson WR working out at defensive back


Aug 5, 2017, 8:41 PM

Yeah makes sense for a possible switch for the NFL. And there are plenty of 5'10" corners who are absolute ballhawks.

Re: FB Update: Clemson WR working out at defensive back


Aug 5, 2017, 9:38 PM

I hope he stays over there. I've seen nothing out of him as a wr that suggests he's anything but a liability. I'd much rather see Powell or Rodgers have their shot at that position this year.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I saw that early on. So did so many others of course.


Aug 6, 2017, 4:46 AM

On the other hand, so many others thought we were way off. Good news all the way around. I like it.

Re: I saw that early on. So did so many others of course.


Aug 6, 2017, 7:49 AM

RR is getting a look at CB because he is hurt and can't practice at WR. The only way he would move is if he is better than all the other corners which is not likely. Why would he move to ride the pine?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That's not the only reason. He is also getting looked...


Aug 6, 2017, 8:35 AM

at because one day he may end playing there full time or part time. I agree with you though that he isn't just getting moved to DB now. That's a given.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If it's a perminant move


Aug 6, 2017, 2:45 PM

I don't, just don't think its going go over well with Ray Ray.


IMHO.

Based on most of the responses, I'm not sure people are reading the article


Aug 6, 2017, 2:56 PM

He's just working out at DB until his injury is healed and he can catch. He hasn't lost his starting position, so they don't think Powell or Rodgers are better WRs yet.
