Analysis:  Dallas Crawford is a big time play maker with the ball in his hands.  He has great open field ability and the vision to read and set up blocks well.  Crawford is a three year started at QB but projects to play at either WR or CB.  At corner, Crawford shows ability to anticipate routes and has the foot work needed to break on the ball.  He has very soft hands as he catches anything thrown his way.  Crawford has the hips needed to burst out of his back pedal and stay with wide receivers.  When Crawford gets the ball in his hands he has the ability to take it to the house at any given time.  Crawford may be the top corner in the state of Florida and maybe the entire southeast.
