CB. Ohio State. Marshon Lattimore. 6. player. 30. Marshon Lattimore is the next shutdown CB that will follow the opponent’s best WR. At 6’0″, 193 pounds with 31 1/4-inch-long arms, he has has the size and length for press coverage. He has the feet and hips to play off coverage and the instincts to jump a route in zone coverage too. <p>You’re not going to ask a guy like Lattimore to play too much zone but he can do whatever. Running a 4.36 40, he has makeup speed and with a 38-inch vertical leap, he can defend the jumpball. He’s going to go in and have a big, immediate impact on the team that picks him.</p> <p>New York Jets HC Todd Bowles loves to blitz all day and play man coverage behind it. And he just released one of the greatest press-man-coverage CBs of his generation in Darrelle Revis. So Lattimore can fill in for Revis, allowing the Jets to keep playing that style of defense,</p> <p>They get plenty of pressure on opposing QBs so Lattimore would be going into a great situation. The Jets just signed veteran QB Josh McCown but I expect Christian Hackenberg to take over. It’s going to be interesting to see how they do in rebuild mode in 2017. </p>
