HENDERSON, Nev. -- Let's practice understanding who qualifies as a "Pete Carroll" cornerback. Here are the scouting combine measurements of two cornerbacks with ties to the Las Vegas Raiders coach:
Player A: 6-foot-3, 195 pounds, 32-inch arm span, 38-inch vertical jump and 4.54-second 40-yard dash.
Player B: 6-foot-3, 195 pounds, 33.13-inch arm span, recorded a 36.5-inch vertical and 4.3-second 40-yard dash.
Both vastly similar, right?
Player A is Richard Sherman, the former Seattle Seahawks star who was a key member of the Legion of Boom.
