In order to counteract the multiple WR sets that are so prevalent in today’s college football, teams often need to be comfortably playing 4 or 5 cornerbacks. Ideally, teams want a mix of bigger CBs and quicker CBs. That way, defenses can match up with different types of WRs depending on the schemes they run. Teams that play more zone-heavy schemes would likely use bigger CBs.
