What Actually Translates for Defensive Backs

What Actually Translates for Defensive Backs

In the first episode of Traits Over Hype, we lay the foundation for how defensive backs should actually be evaluated. Before interceptions, before 40 times, before highlight clips — it starts with movement. We break down why feet, hips, and pad level are the true indicators of whether a corner or safety can translate to the next level. From base width and false steps to transition efficiency and power generation, this episode explains what really matters when projecting DBs. Traits over hype. Process over production.
