With understanding all factors involved in the recruiting processes, we stayed with protocol and set the analysis to drafted players with similar statistics and from comparable programs. Even though these players are listed as cornerbacks in the NFL, fifty percent (50%) in the analysis played both safety and cornerback during their college career; which aided in comparing Shawn’s career statistics with theirs.
