Im not "down" on Philip Gaines, i'm just not jumping on the hype train and being dishonest about him because he's a Chief. He has a ton to prove. He lacks some serious physicality, lacks game changing ability, and he can't stay healthy.
We can all hope and wish he gets better, but that's not a guarantee.

The best way to keep completions from happening is to cover the intended wr keeping the qb from throwing the ball his way.
Thats the most important trait a corner can have, IMO. The others are important obviously, but first and foremost, stopping completions.
Will he ever be an all pro type corner? No, probably not. He has the physical attributes, but he's not going to be a ballhawk and rack up INT's or be a "good" tackler etc.
But in terms of preventing completions? Yeah, he can be really good at that.
