Yes. Covered more ground than any other safety in BYU history.

When we had Daniel Sorensen

I did. The guy has a sharp defensive mind and flies to the ball.

coug almighty

1/12/20 1:41pm

In the NFL? Maybe not but he's definitely one of BYU's best DBs of the decade

gmj81

1/12/20 1:51pm

Agree

He struggled at first because of what he was asked to do... most don’t remember

He was one of the greatest special team players BYU has had.

PJMort

1/12/20 5:04pm

Disagree. He's a great FS & didn't stick due to his special teams play. Stats:

BleedCougarBlue2

1/12/20 10:24pm

Yes- but it was his special teams play that gave him a foothold in the NFL.

PJMort

1/12/20 10:53pm

Ok, since he's a former UFA, I'll give you that.

BleedCougarBlue2

Here is what Andy Reid said today.

PJMort

1/12/20 11:11pm

You: 1 Me: 0 I totally acknowledge you were right. (Just don't tell my wife..

BleedCougarBlue2

1/13/20 3:19pm

you’re a good guy- pretty sure your wife already knows.

PJMort

That top honor goes to Brad Clark.

coolblue

1/13/20 6:52am

Yup gotta agree Brad Clark was the best ST ever at BYU

BYU Grounds

Ok, I'll confess my ignorance. Who was Brad Clark?

This is the ST play I'll always remember him for. Loved it.

Polski

That wasn't Daniel. That was some guy named Spirit. *Why don't I remember HIM?*

Eddie

1/13/20 11:10am

THAT is friggin' AWESOME!

BleedCougarBlue2

1/13/20 3:20pm

He was a linebacker his first year, and later moved back to safety.

Bullrider

1/13/20 10:00am

One of the best "of the decade"? His NFL stats; probably best FS "ever".

BleedCougarBlue2

1/12/20 10:13pm

Nope. I'm more surprised about Davis playing with the Rams.

Benfica1

1/12/20 3:28pm

Ummmmm Chargers?

gmoney7

1/12/20 5:40pm

That's why he was so impressed.

CougarThug

1/12/20 6:33pm

Oops. LA Chargers.

Benfica1

1/12/20 10:11pm

I remember him chasing down guys breaking away. He was VERY fast.

CapitalCougar

1/12/20 6:52pm

I remember the GT head coach raving about the #9 safety

pilot17

1/12/20 9:05pm

He was not fast. 40 yard dash was 4.67. 16th percentile for his position group.

Von Cougarschnauzer

1/13/20 9:23am

I don’t think it’s possible to be in the 100th percentile.

pilot17

1/13/20 4:19pm

Wonder what his 100 time was cuz he ran guys down over 40+ yds multiple times

CapitalCougar

1/13/20 10:36pm

They don't run the test 40s in pads and helmets.

Eddie

1/14/20 2:55pm

Yes. He was a monster on special teams and had a huge nose for the ball.

travelcoug

1/12/20 7:29pm

Yes. Covered more ground than any other safety in BYU history.

shimmy

1/12/20 8:22pm

Or the other DB's we now have in the league?

oldrugger

1/12/20 8:28pm

Yes. But I’m completely blue koolaid

BYUAnime

1/12/20 8:33pm

Yes. I thought Troy Palumalu/Ronny Lott.

StalwartBraveTrue

1/12/20 10:01pm

Not at all. But the OK game made it clear that he was special.

Ash

1/12/20 10:11pm

I don't think he played in that game. Andrew Rich was all over the field though.

autonomous

1/13/20 6:12am

You're right. That was Rich's game. Beast.

Ash

1/13/20 7:48am

No, I would have lost a lot of money had I bet he'd even make a team

chazen

1/13/20 1:15am

Yes. Even though BYU players are discriminated against in the draft,

Y05

1/13/20 3:45am

He played with other NFL talent in KVN, Alan Fua, Ziggy Ansah, Bronson Kaufusi.

Diablo and Doc

1/13/20 6:26am

Thought he could make the league. Didn't know he'd start on a decent defense. I thought Andrew Rich

RoaroftheCougartails

1/13/20 10:02am

He had the size and smarts and effort. A lot like most Y guys

Coug Dude

1/13/20 10:03am

Didn't he get 9 tackles/5 solo yesterday???

relic

1/13/20 12:04pm

Not too surprised. I thought Adam Rich was a little better but only going off of

A bunch of liars on this thread.

Nickname....."KillJoy"? 😏

BleedCougarBlue2

1/13/20 3:24pm

He gained a reputation of being a playmaker in his contract year.

Y05

1/13/20 3:46pm

I was shocked that he wasn't drafted, I guess his draft numbers were lacking

coug almighty

1/14/20 5:40am

Haha. You give me a thumbs down, but by your own admission:

1/14/20 9:35am

I still remember a draft analyst said he wasn't that fast and his college
