They make it sound like playing the slot in nickel packages is a bad thing. Many times, a team will move their most athletic receiver inside on nickle offense, so it's not like you'd want to have some turd lined up across from him. IIRC, Surtain played nickle backer a bunch last year. Basically, it sounds like a fluff piece for the benefit of Brandon Carr. That being said, I hope this kid is our Division II or lower steal of this year.
