Confessions of a Polluted Mindset - April 14 2021

Play it Again Sam-uel?

Reports say that the Packers have met with Asante Samuel twice, in addition to GM Brian Gutekunst attending his Pro day. They obviously think he is likely to be available around pick 29, but I'm curious as to what role they would have in mind for him. Off-man coverage out wide is what he has had the most experience and success with, yet many scouts believe he's a slot corner due to some physical limitations. Pairing two 5'10 corners on the outside would be a bit risky, and moving him into the slot or "star" position could be equally risky.
