I'm a Gator, so if I stamp a Seminole, then I mean it.... he was to committ to UF, but on national tv shocked us.. thats for another forum though... If this gut puts on that other tribes uni's, look out.. he's almost like a Sean Taylor at corner, well.. minus all the hits... all said, still think we could use a olb thats fast and can cover and rush the qb

and he's probably gone in the 1st round. We're looking for a super bowl in 2007 and he's not an immediate impact player. he's a project coming off an ACL injury.
Cornerback | Junior | Florida St.
Antonio Cromartie Height: 6-2 1/8 | Weight: 208 | 40-Time: 4.41
Official Bio
Strengths:
Has outstanding size with long arms...A tremendous natural athlete...Exceptionally fast for a guy of his dimensions...Has great hands and ball skills...Has a knack for coming away with the interception...Has fluid hips and is a pure cover man...Physical and will support the run...A threat to score every time he gets his hands on the ball...Is also a good return man...Proved to be a game changer during his short career with the Noles and came through with a number of impact plays...Has a ton of upside and hasn't even begun to reach his vast potential.
Weaknesses:
Is coming off of a knee injury...Has only played in 25 total games and has very little starting experience...Very raw and his footwork and technique need development...Needs to be more consistent...Is not a great tackler...Aggressive and will take too many risks at times...A project who has a high risk factor and his selection will be made mostly based on promise rather than actual production.
Notes:
Tore the ACL in his left knee in July and missed the entire 2005 season...Was a member of the FSU track team that won the ACC Championship in 2004...If his knee checks out okay in exams and he works out like he is capable of there is no reason why this guys stock won't soar leading up to the draft...A rare prospect who might have been a Top 5 overall pick in 2007 had he gone back to school.
