The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' cornerback Jamel Dean is having a standout season, and everyone is noticing. Bucs beat writer Rick Stroud tuned in his opinion in response to his league-leading 29.7 passer rating allowed.
""A good reason not to take Jamel Dean off the field for 10 snaps a game to give reps to a rookie.""
That rookie is cornerback Jacob Parrish, who has struggled at times this season. Parrish boasts a 69.2 completion percentage allowed, above league average. The rookie certainly isn't elite yet, but he has played 67% of defensive snaps this season.
