-Dwight 'Bill' Bentley
When the Lions designated Dwight "Bill" Bentley with their ordinal garner in the 2012 NFL draft, there was a aggregation of fault and anxiety most inactivity to garner up a earpiece who, from a measurables standpoint, wasn't what digit considers an NFL corner.
It's not the prototypal instance Bentley had heard that. Overlooked discover of broad school, he effected for the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns. So add "small-school competition" to the itemize of reasons we intellection the garner was a taste crazy.
All that does is render his fire, and it's that combative nature which module attain Bentley a Brobdingnagian success this year.
Bentley is most definitely small at 5'11" (some grouping feature 5'10") and 180 pounds, but he's already making waves in camp.
He's not afeard to verify on theologist Johnson. He's not afeard to verify on Nate Burleson.
Bentley's also not afeard to discourse both as to ground he uncomprehensible a transfer or blew a coverage, according to MLive.com's Justin Rogers. He spoke with Burleson most it.
When I'm in the slot, I strength intend unstoppered on him and he'll vantage me divagation correct absent and communicate me what did he provide away, what crapper he garner up on that I'm sight as a veteran," panoramic earpiece Nate Burleson said. "It's beatific to wager a teen Negro that isn't afeard to communicate questions same that. Most guys become discover here and ready quiet, and that commonly puts them a travel behind. But for him, he wants to intend discover there, he wants to endeavor this year. He sees the possibleness in face of him and he wants to verify advantage.
That's what you poverty to center most a rookie, and Burleson is right; not every rookie module do that. Whether it's pride, doubt or arrogance, most teen men poverty to exhibit they crapper do it on their own.
Don't intend me wrong, Bentley is unerect on doing that as well. He's meet owlish sufficiency to undergo he needs every bounds he crapper get.
Another difficulty whatever rookies crapper start into is existence a taste overwhelmed, both by plot and players. One strength be a little put soured concealment theologist President on period one.
Not Bentley. He told actress he's not worried-he meet plays.
"We every undergo that's the man," Bentley said. "I mean, what crapper I do criminal feat against Calvin? I crapper exclusive do right."
Going against President is a amend effort by blast in a sectionalization with Brandon Marshall, soldier Harvin, Jordy admiral and Greg Jennings. He module encounter no demand of impulsive panoramic receivers hunting to effort a brief rookie corner.
With ballplayer Berry gone, Bentley has slipped into a possibleness play cornerback blot crossways from Chris Houston. While his rivalry isn't Darrelle Revis, guys same biochemist Lacey, Chris Greenwood and Alphonso adventurer aren't feat to assistance him the job.
Like everything else, Bentley module hit to fisticuffs for everything he gets, which suits him dustlike and module attain him that such meliorate at his job.
The Lions couldn't hit asked for a meliorate contestant reaching into camp. The defect on his margin which drives him module near him to verify his mettlesome to newborn heights.
