Leigh Torrence's Camp Performance

I got blasted for bringing him up in the offseason as serviceable depth at either a 3rd or 4th CB depending on injuries.

I'm not saying he is yet. I'm saying that if he can't be a third CB in his third year, his chances of ever being that go down quite a bit. Teams start looking to fill that void early in the draft or in the free agent market.

Tryon is looking good too. His size and quick feet will probably lock him into the nickle spot. Torrence has the size to play outside and will play backup there but he still isn't instintive enough to be reliable in coverage.

So can anyone who's actually watched him this summer while at camp confirm that he's playing well?

I was at camp today and I was definitely impressed by #29, I think that's him. He was playing it close to the receivers and if I remember correctly he had a nice breakup. I didn't see who he was going up against though, I was on the far side of camp and I could barely make out their numbers, but I was definitely impressed by #29. Lemme go look and see if that's his number, I think it is but I'm not entirely sure.

Edit: Yes he is.

This is fantastic news for the Skins. Torrence is such a speedster it would be a shame if he didn't develop his skill to be a consistent guy. He is pretty small, even for a CB, which probably means he'll be limited to who he can cover. Still, if he could be a consistent contributor out there, especially while Rogers rehabs over the next year, it's going to give us an even better chance of elite defense status.

Cool. I hadn't seen the article before and I'm glad you posted it. Torrence sounds like a good guy all around. He should have opps this year, especially early on.

I hope he will make the most out of the opportunities.. And I am sure he will..

I was definitely impressed with him on Sunday. Looks like he's really improving
