Both of NC State’s much-harried starting cornerbacks from 2018 will have their shots with NFL teams. Neither Johnathan Alston nor Mike Stevens were drafted, but they have earned at least a glance in the rookie camps for their respective clubs.
Alston is getting his chance with the Miami Dolphins, while Stevens has been invited to rookie camp with the Carolina Panthers.
Alston began his career at NC State as a wide receiver and actually spent the bulk of his college career there, but he became a pretty damned good cornerback in the latter part of his career.
