Jack Tatum II

This kid just got kicked out of college ... but I love the way he hits, reminds me of Jack Tatum.

I don't know if a guy this small will be able to play this style of football at the next level ... but I'm hoping he can get his personal **** together and bring some excitement to the NFL

Bob Sanders is the same height but has 15-20lbs more muscle on him. Can you imagine a guy that small going up against Megatron, Hillis or McFadden?

As far as a CB ? 5 ' 8 tall is just too short ! Clearly he can knock players into next year but can't see a 5' 8 CB Surviving in the NFL ! Maybe I'm wrong but don't see it !!

Way to small to play DB in the NFL. Maybe he could cover Jacoby Ford but not the taller WR in the NFL.

There were not as many tall WR when Green played. Now there are lots of 6'4" and 6'5". Green was 5'9" this kid is shorter yet.

the first hit was good, the second video was a defenseless receiver and the third was on a QB that had a defender wrapped around his leg. He'll have to show me more in order to be put into the likes of TATUM.

Will be interesting to see where he ends up this year. FSU might have kicked him to the curb, but some team, somewhere will give him a team. He's a good, hard-hitting CB and was their best returner as well.

I have doubts a CB that size could succeed in the current NFL because as Ran said you got many WRs in the 6'-3" -6'-5" range and the importance and use of TEs as receivers to stretch the field. People like Jimmy Graham, Gronk, Julio Jones, and Megatron would probably embarrass this kid. Shoot, they embarrass skilled DBs that aren't almost a foot shorter.

Why did he get kicked out of school?

And, Green was nowhere near as aggressive when it came to laying on the hits -- he was smart about how he hit.

The dismissal follows an arrest in Valdosta, Ga., Reid's hometown on July 10, when he was pulled over for a traffic violation. Reid was charged with multiple traffic violations, including a seatbelt violation and driving with a suspended license. He was also charged with a misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Reid’s arraignment is set for September 5.

The incident was Reid’s third of the year. Last fall, he was arrested for his part in lying to a Tallahassee police officer about a stolen scooter, but the charges against him were dropped. He was also suspended for one game last season for a violation of team rules.

It is not a lot really IMO.
