Agreed, physical impact is too much. I am certain the mental part would also be an issue in the NFL, but he has proven that he can handle it at a pretty high level already. I have read that he is a very bright kid.

It’s going to depend on the organization that drafts him.

But generally most teams won’t want him playing full time two way player. Too much money and higher injury risk involved obviously. I’ve heard the most like scenario is him becoming a full time CB with a handful of offensive snaps for him.

Which do you think is the actual constraining factor against playing two ways for the entire game? Is it the physical wear and tear and injury risk on a player, or is it the ability to understand and act on game plans in the modern NFL?

I recognize that both come into play, but one of those has to be the actual tipping point constraint.

It's both.

Of course, there's the higher risk of injury. But there's also the prep work. How is he going to attend both WR and DB meetings if they're at the same times? How is he going to practice with the 1's?

No way he plays both ways full time.

Likely he’ll be an every down corner and then he’ll have a couple packages where he gets in the game a few times at receiver.

He'll probably do what Champ Bailey did.
