Cormani McClain didn’t cover receivers so much as smother them. The way a wool blanket smothers a campfire.
“The only cornerback (in greater Miami) that I can remember that looked like Cormani was Pat Surtain II,” Samari Rolle, the former Pro Bowl defensive back and now a prep football coach in South Florida, told me late last week.
“He looked like he could go to the (NFL) combine in high school and fit in. (Surtain) was the last one I saw that had the same physical profile.”
