JC is at the combine right now. Doing very well. Ran a 4.5 forty and bossed out in the bench press, think 20 reps of 225. Really excited for him as he's took massive criticism here. His move to nickel may save his career and provide him with an NFL career...

He's looked good. Put up good numbers and has performed well in the on-field drills.

Indicative of the talent left to Butch Jones and his staff. The did a very good job considering what they had to work with.

I hope AJ didn't do it.

JC. Maybe a safety guys. Playing nickel and safety may be good for him and explain why playing cb wasn't great for him.

oh yeah, throw in Kenny Ladler as another Vandy player who tested very well at the combine. Finished as the best safety in the bench press, vertical and broad jumps. Which UT DB would've/could've tested this well? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Turns out, the answer to your question is "Justin Coleman"

He apparently has the best cone drill of all players at the combine. I've said before that he would get drafted in the 7th but if he continues to impress maybe he will go a little earlier.

Coleman was never a burner for top-end speed but he wasn't exactly slow.

His issue was he had horrible change of direction which is a critical facet for CBs.

Of course, he's about 2-4" too short to make up for being a 4.5 with cement hips when he has to pivot and follow on a deep route. He did well cutting routes under so I think he'll do fine at nickel.

Can't see him doing well at Safety.

And, no, I didn't play football in college and .... no I can't cover better than Coleman can.

I bet you could cover better than Coleman if you put your mind to it.

Really hope JC gets drafted. I feel like he could help a NFL squad in some way. It didn't seem like he came off the field last year between playing nickel and our other corner in 4-3, maybe fatigue played a part in him getting beat some late in games.
