Posted this in the Berry thread, but that just doesn't seem right.

That manbeast can flat out fly.

Mays is a guy that I fully expect to be better in the pros than college because NFL teams don't play cover 1.

You are saying USC played a cover 1 this year?

They did, they didn't plan to and it was part of why Mays came back but when Shareece Wright was ineligible to play it meant that Josh Pinkard had to move from FS back over to CB Mays moved back to FS and Will Harris came back in at SS.

They still played as a base cover 1 team, and at times Mays tried to do far to much to make up for other players and well it didn't turn out well.

Will Harris was similar to Ellison in that he's fine in the box and when Mays could basically cover for him he looked fine on the field.

Negatives: Misses plays because he is out of position. Does not read keys well and diagnose. Struggles covering man deep. Plays out of control and lacks great change of direction. Skills will translate to the NFL, but measurables might not. Gets carried away. Prefers setting up a well-timed hit to break up a play over going for an interception. Does not have great playing speed and range.

Probably an enormous bust for these reasons. Oh wait, that's Troy Polamalu's draft profile

Polamalu looked a lot more natural than Mays and made a lot more plays in college. Polamalu almost had as many pick 6's as Mays had career INT's as a 4 year starter.

It'll be interesting to see if his instincts will get better or not. He'll blow people up and make sports center highlights, but I think other teams will make highlights against him as well. IMO, he's not a top 10 pick but around 20 or so.
