Several weeks ago, I did a by the numbers piece on the top two Big Ten cornerbacks in this year’s draft, Ohio State’s Denzel Ward and Iowa’s Josh Jackson. This time, I am taking a look at two versatile defensive backs, Alabama’s Minkah Fitzpatrick and Florida State’s Derwin James. Fitzpatrick took college football by storm…
