3Comparative
Analysis
The following pages (4-9) are a comparative
analysis of twelve cornerbacks drafted between
the years of 2003-2005. Shawns skills and
numbers speak for themselves and he feels
confident he will flourish at the professional
level. With understanding all factors involved
in the recruiting processes, we stayed with
protocol and set the analysis to drafted players
with similar statistics and from comparable
programs. Even though these players are listed as
cornerbacks in the NFL, fifty percent (50) in
the analysis played both safety and cornerback
during their college career which aided in
comparing Shawns career statistics with theirs.
All statistics were taken from official
websites. Where there is a 0 indicates no
statistics were found on that player for that
category.
