Somebody needs to move to safety.

Pat Terrell Part 2?
I still remember the Miami game documentary and Terrell talking about how Holtz thought he was the worst receiver he ever encountered. Then his bad hands came in handy on the two point conversion.
Not easy to learn to back peddle and coverage at D1 level overnight. Wish him well!

I kinda like this move.

I could be wrong, but I have a feeling this will end up being a monster move..
if you look at Styles frame, speed and athletic ability, he just screams NFL corner.
Wow, this did not age well....at all!

Maybe not. He could still become an NFL CB. He'll just develop somewhere else

Agree, but I meant a monster move, for us!

Yeah, I understand. Thing is, his immediate path to playing corner was not as straightforward as WR

Depends on a few things..
Do both Morrison and Hart stat healthy? How quickly does Styles raise his CB play to a high level? Does Micky or one of the others step up and show they can be relied on?
...because I definitely don't want to see Lewis at CB anymore.
Don't disagree. Especially with Lewis. I think the move of Styles had a lot to do with Lewis
I think the move of Styles had as much to do with the big need at Safety. And, I think C Lewis would be the likely candidate to move to safety.
And as far as Styles seeing CB this year, of course it depends on how the others step up. But, as it stands right now, he would most likely be battling with the two incoming freshmen for the 2nd team corner or nickel to go along with Mickey. If he would have stayed at WR, it is pretty likely he would be in the rotation there. That's what I mean by his greater PT this year would probably be at WR, even if his longer term better future is at CB.
Of course, as you say, injuries could alter the whole scenario.
When I think of him at WR it's like this..
IF he just caught all the balls that are "should catch" types, he might be our #1 WR. Of course that is a big IF.
As is, he may have already been passed on the two deep, as it seems they hype we've heard on the young guys might be real. We'll never know, but still interesting to discuss.
Yep, but here's the thing
He definitely developed the yips last season. And, with the relatively small amount of passes that Pyne attempted to the WRs, those yips got magnified, and appeared to cause a lack of confidence and focus. But, his speed and athleticism that had him projected as WR1 last year, are still there. I think he would given a good opportunity to show that what we saw his freshman year was the real Styles and not the guy from last year that played without much confidence.
If he continued to show the same problems then he would likely see his PT drop and even work his way out of the rotation.
Yep, damn.

I do too, and there are plenty of WR's in this summer's portal to add one for depth.

I have high hopes for the freshman and the others, assuming competence at QB.
