Recent Cory James Notes
Cory James
he can be late to find the ball or anticipate the action over the middle, playing like more of a see-ball, get-ball type. james showed improvements as an off-ball linebacker in 2015, but he is at his best bursting upfield, using his initial momentum and body flexibility to rush the pocket. although he doesn't have ideal size, length or functional strength, james has the lower body athleticism and competitive spirit that could earn him a roster spot - ideal fit is as a hybrid pass rusher.
