I love Cam Davis. Next in line to be a great Dawg RB! Underrated by the services last year. I don't even know what I'm looking at on film and I can see that kid is fucking ready to ball out. Fuck an A! Two months.dawgs206 said: -

From Bruce Feldman’s top 50 freaks in college article:
14. Kyler Gordon, Washington, cornerback
Jimmy Lake has produced a boat-load of big-time DBs since coming to UDub, so when he calls a guy the most athletic defensive back he’s had, that’s a mouthful. Meet the Huskies’ next stud cover man. Gordon still needs to hone his technique and his attention to detail and deliver in games, but this kid has a chance to be very special.
The 6-0, 195-pound redshirt freshman, who has a background in dance, ballet and kung fu, is a former member of the Seattle Storm’s hip hop dance troupe at age 9. This spring he had the top vertical jump on the team at 42.5 — four more inches than the next best leap. He took second in the 3-cone drill (6.52 seconds) and in pro agility drill (3.87 seconds), which would have been No. 1 at this year’s NFL combine among DBs. He also broad jumped 10-5.
“He’s like Gumby,” Lake says. “He’s so flexible, and the way he can jump and run. He’s definitely got some freakish ability. -
Our? RS Frosh DB is at least on one list considered the 14th biggest physical freak in College Football.....DoogCourics said:From Bruce Feldman’s top 50 freaks in college article:

I keep wondering where he'll be best used. Guys like this need some opportunity to freelance if you want to maximize opportunity to make game changing plays. Isolating him outside limits that to an extent. He seems made for nickel or free safety.
Maybe not though. Shutting down one side of the field and being somewhat anonymous as a CB is pretty good too. -
Athletic corners remove a huge chunk of the field that you can operate on. Barry Sanders and Deion Sanders 2.0. If he really is that good put him there and he will get a bunch of turnovers before his reputation precedes him.chuck said:I keep wondering where he'll be best used.

How has using Kyler sparingly as a two way player not been considered?

I think he's had some reps fielding punts.Emoterman said:How has using Kyler sparingly as a two way player not been considered?
You mean offense though I suppose. I'd rather they just find receivers with equal abilities. Nacua and McMillan, Pettis and Ross fit the mold. It's awful 2019 out here for 2020 or 2016 though, so maybe you have a legit question.
