Amerson was the best in the country last year at getting interceptions, but that doesnt necessarily make him the best corner. He is a great athlete, with incredible hands. He got so many ints because he took a lot of chances. Getting to the spot he felt the quarterback was going to throw it to. Here is a cool video of him walking you through 3 of his picks NC State's David Amerson's 13 interceptions evidence of intellect and athleticism - NCAA Football - Sporting News The problem with taking chances is a lot of time he picks wrong and gets beat. It's like a quarterback that throws a lot of touchdowns, but you're not hearing about his interceptions. In the liberty game, one of his ints came from a play he recognized from earlier in the game when he got beat on the the same play for a touchdown.
Dont get me wrong, I wouldnt trade him for any current player, but he's not going to shut down the entire half of the field.
With our receivers and QB, that will be 6.
