Thank God It’s Saturday Article

I wonder if there will ever be another white cornerback?

We used to hear so much about the lack of black quarterbacks, but there are no NFL starting corners that are white and there hasn’t been in years.

Sticking your most athletic white player at CB has to be an extremely rare occurrence.

Wouldn't surprise me if we never see another one in the NFL.

We never thought we would see another white RB to rush for 1000 yards after Craig James killed five hookers, then Peyton Hillis pulled it off.

Crackers got them stiff hips. Same reason they can't dance.

Christian McCaffery is one of the best when healthy

At the time Hillis did it, it had been probably 30 years since a white RB had done that.

Hard to believe he was only a fullback and 3rd on the depth chart at Arkansas. That backfield was stacked

I love in All The Right Moves the position the producers of the film pick for Tom Cruise.

They have all these black dudes on the team, and Cruise is their starting Cornerback.

But it sort of made sense back then especially in Pennsylvania. High Schools would throw the ball 3 times a game.

Unfortunately he had the one good game against ole miss and not much else, but he is a freshman and they do that.

Every team has been targeting Hudson Clark (the white CB from Arkansas) since his 3 int performance against ole miss. He gets burned a lot more and doesn't turn his head very well on deep passes, but he's by far not the worst corner I've ever seen start a major D1 game.

The dude who he played for in the ole miss (black corner out w/injury) was so pissed when he got his roster spot taken, that he quit the team and opted out of the season.

I think the average person will think Elijah Molden is a white CB once he plays in the NFL. Son of former 1st round pick of the Saints Alex Molden.

Was Julian Edelman the last white guy to start an nfl game at corner? And I think that was like 2011 or 2012 I think.

It just goes to show that they can play the position, but your extremly athletic white guys are just utilized in other capacities in the league now.

That was in 1983. I was in junior high. I played high school in the mid-late 80's. During that time period it wasn't rare at all to see white corners in high school and even DI college. I actually started at corner in high school in 1987 and 1988. I remember in 1989 and 1990 Ole Miss had 3 starting white secondary players. Bama did in 1990. This all started to change around 1992 and has been that way since. I blame it on white boys pussing our in the 90's and quitting on football.
