I do think he has some potential, he got caught out of position. I am afraid we'll lose him though!
How did he look at camp, Joe!

You know, I didn't really pay a whole lot of attention to Jimoh (no offense, AJFC!), but I don't recall seeing him make any outstanding plays. That's not saying that he didn't play well-- he just didn't do anything that caught my eye. I'll have to pay closer attention to him at the next minicamp.
Shawn Springs should be ready for the May minicamp, but I believe both Walt Harris and Ralph Brown aren't expected to be completely ready until training camp in July. So Jimoh should still have some opportunities to "flash" for the coaches.
Jimoh played well in training camp last year, making some good plays in the preseason games, earning himself a roster spot. Obviously, once he got some real game action, he got burned. But that happens to a lot of rookie corners, even the first-round picks. Heck, Champ got burned his fair share of times last year, too. For an undrafted free agent, it was an accomplishment just for Jimoh to make the team. Let's hope he makes the most of his opportunities this year, and is able to earn himself a spot in a suddenly very deep secondary.
