Getting a feel for rookie CB Ryan – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston

We all know it’s going to happen at some point that Logan Ryan gets thrust into playing a big role. Might as well be sooner than later.

At 5-foot-11 and 195 pounds, he has good size for the position. That specifically shows up with run force, which the Patriots value as much as anyone with cornerbacks. Ryan doesn’t have the same fluid movements as Talib (few do), but his style of play has some similarities to Arrington (5-10, 190) from this viewpoint. He can be physical at the line of scrimmage and looks to have flexibility to line up inside and outside. Some competitive ball skills as well.
