Offseason Review: AFC East

A look at the moves that will shape the division in 2013



STRENGTHS - Ball skills are a major plus and a rare attribute that Dee has in aces. He shows a great ability to finding and attacking the ball while it is in the air. His instincts are second to none even of player currently in the league. He is a smooth athlete and has a burst that make him effective in both man and zone schemes. He has a great frame that could even handle some more bulk which will help him against big WR'S.

WEAKNESSES - The main knock on Milliner is his lack of overall top end speed which will affect him if a receiver gets down field on him. He also is not the type of corner that will be able to make the tough interception due to average hands. One last area that he will need to improve is his tackling technique because he will more often dive at a receivers feet or just grab at them instead of wrapping up properly.

SUMMARY - Dee Milliner has played in every game since coming to Alabama including 11 starts as a true freshmen which shows his natural ability and mental toughness/smarts. He was a highly sought after prospect coming out of high school and was a 2010 Parade All American. He continues to improve and show all the skills why he was so highly hyped. His ball skills and fluidity alone make him and impressive player but his instincts should make him the first cornerback selected in the 2013 NFL Draft. Overall, Dee Milliner will be an immediate starter in the league and has the ability to develop into an All Pro Corner for many years to come.
