I think Kyle is really getting better. He got a lot of experience last year, but I think his timing is better and Todd Berry (quarterbacks coach) has done a great job in helping with his fundamentals of the game.

I think we're going to be good at that position. But to say anybody's really stepped up and made us say, 'This guy is a great player,' I really haven't seen that, no.

corner expect good great player talented
Devin's going to be a great player for us and I just haven't been around a corner more talented than Devin Hester. And we expect him to be a really great corner. But again, he's been there one year.
