Of course they are but all sorts of corners drop because they don't run great 40 times, like flowers.
Being some top notch athlete doesn't mean ****ing shit. If you have no football instincts it doesn't matter. Look at the corners that Oakland drafted a few years ago like Washington and Routte. those guys suck balls as football players. Flowers ran a 4.5 something and he's on the verge of being a top 3-5 guy. So who gives a **** about that shit? Can you play or not? I don't care if you run a 4.28 and jump a 44" vertical if you can't play for shit.
You get way too caught up on measurables and forget that shit doesn't mean a whole lot on the football field. How much did Cromartie's speed and vertical help on those two plays up there? Yeah, NONE. ZERO. The guy has no heart, but damn he can run fast.
