The Chargers have the best cornerback you've never heard of - Stephen White
What stood out the most about Verrett on film was his impressive ability to mirror the routes the receivers tried on him. Everything about playing cornerback is awkward. You are moving backwards.

“My dad was in the Air Force before I was born,” Mebane said.  “Any time you get a chance to give back to any part of the military is special.   Anybody that goes into the military are special people, and they don’t get as much credit as they deserve.  I had a little taste of that with my dad.  Being in San Diego now, this is the biggest military presence I’ve seen in the country.  I definitely get the military vibe, and with my dad, that is very special.  What they do is special.”
