CB Jimmy Smith, Colorado (6'2, 205) -- Colorado doesn't have their corners follow specific receivers, so he stayed on the left side exclusively. Matched up mostly against Stills and Kenney, although he did slide over to cover Broyles in the slot at times (he held him without a catch on four pass attempts). I was disappointed in how he played Kenney on the fade -- with his size he should've been turned much faster and just out-jumped him to the ball -- but he ran with everyone who lined up across from him and blanketed the smaller Broyles.

Not a great form tackler, although his size gives him an advantage against most runners who come his way. Might be a little big to stay at corner in the NFL, but the great thing about those guys is they usually transition well as safeties.
