What an indictment of CB's (in)ability to identify talent at safety
As the pro day, Povey's play in critical games (like Cal) and the defensive stats have proven, he was a solid player.

PoVey never passed the "eye test," but he sure is showing up today.

He ran a faster 40 than Jackson, and CB thought Jackson was an athletic specimen

Jackson's time and other measurables are closer to Johnson's than that of DBs.

CB thinks all white guys are somehow by rule, inferior.

Povey was very solid. The Povey haters were ridiculous.

This he was probably our most consistent defensive player last year.

He was solid last year. He didn't do nearly as well at CB earlier in his career.

In my opinion, Povey is a case similar to Halford

I wish he could have just knocked down one 4th down pass in the bowl game.

He was hurt and gave up football. His BIL talked him into trying out again
