Husker defensive coordinator Erik Chinander said last fall that most teams opted against challenging Taylor-Britt with much frequency.
So, perhaps not surprisingly, NU defensive backs coach Travis Fisher knew he’d have conversations with Taylor-Britt after the season about where his professional prospects stood and what another year in college could do for him.
“He has a lot of room to (grow). He has a very high ceiling,” Fisher said in December. “I think right now, in my opinion, I think Cam is one of the top corners definitely in the Big Ten, if not the top corner in the Big Ten. …”
Yes, that seems intriguing.
“So, the football and the NFL and all that stuff is going to take care of itself,” Fisher said. “Right now, Cam is playing very good on the outside. He’s very physical on the outside, great ball skills on the outside. Great teammate. Contributing on special teams, huge part of special teams. The future is very bright for Cam.”
How much brighter can it become? That’s certainly part of the intrigue as well.
