Cortland Finnegan

[ERASU2113]

I have just started hearing about this guy. I heard he started last year for the Titans when Pacmon Jones started his troubles?

He played at Samford of all places. I don't know how he was over looked by some of the bigger FCS schools or even if his career at Samford was stellar. Either way, you boys down in Alabama oughta be proud! :D

Really? Samford? For whatever reason I thought he was from Va Tech.
Samford should be really proud. That guy is a beast and will be a good corner for years to come.

I have just started hearing about this guy... or even if his career at Samford was stellar...Friend, he was an All-American for a few years until being drafted by the NFL Titans in 2006. It isn't a shock that he would do well.

The only reason he was just a 7th round pick was because he was just under 5'10 and lacked in strength. He has ball skills, speed, and is athletic. I found his pro day results before he was drafted.

I have him on my fantasy football team. He's my most productive defensive player despite being a DB. He must be the real deal.

I have to say that whenever fro I-AA gets drafted and does well its somewhat of a surprise

I heard plenty of him when he was at Samford. He had a very productive career there and was always praised by the EKU coaching staff as a player they game planned against. I am not surprised in the least by his emergence. I was at a Titans game in 2006 where I believe he ran a turnover back for a touchdown. It was a game the Titans won 24-21, if memory serves, with all three TDs being provided by the defense and the field goal getting set up by a long return on special teams. I recall leaving and thinking that Vince Young was not very impressive.

I was actually at the game doing a story for the school paper on a cheerleader who was an EKU alumna. Turns out, many of the cheerleaders had graduated from OVC schools (especially Tennessee State) and they were all talking about Cortland even then.
