Like with peters, market and kovan don't have high ceilings. Peters might struggle with the mental side of things, but the sooner he's out there, the sooner he's learning, and his pure athleticism should allow him to make plays our other safeties are just incapable of making, even if they play a little smarter. To maximize out talent on the field, we need to be willing to play our talents regardless of age. Bama can afford to sit 5* talent 2-3 years and still have elite talent. We can't.
Ok. Besides Robinson, which has been debated to death, who in the last 3 or 4 years hasn't been a significant contributor as a true or redshirt freshman strickly because of an older player playing that spot. And don't give me so and so started over someone else. We have all agreed that the media doesnt know our depth because we played so many people last year that actual starters lost doesn't many anything. That's what everybody has been saying all summer. So give me someone who should have been contributing significant minutes that Mullen didn't do because of upper classman favoritism.
