Ready to overreact?
So I stand by my initial assessment that I think he, along with the rest of the day three picks except Coburn, was brought along specifically to boost special teams, which was abysmal last year.
However, the position that Conner thrives in, is a position that McDuffie has been playing a lot as last season progressed: the nickel corner/joker role.
Also known as L'Jarius Sneed's primary position on the defense.
Sneed is in the last year of his rookie contract, and we know this team adores him. But we also know they've likely got tough cap decisions to make for the coming year and a Chris Jones-sized contract to issue. They may not have what it takes to keep Sneed.
McDuffie has that role played expertly, but Conner feels like an insurance policy there.
