Jalen Lott WR or CB

[hookemholds]

I know Jalen Lott was supposedly being looked at as a CB by Texas.

But he is ranked at the #6 WR on 247 and On3, is there a shot he would play both sides? 

If he would play some offense, how would he fit in to some other targets?

Corner is where he is most likely to play long term at the next level. 

But some teams will try to recruit him as a WR to offset favorite Texas recruiting him at CB

I have seen plenty of WR tape from Lott that leads me to think he would be more than fine playing wide receiver at the next level. But I think his skillset at cornerback creates a larger gap with other prospects than it would with him at wide receiver. More valuable at CB.

I'm hoping college, and even pro football starts moving more towards positionless instead of concentrating on JUST one position.  Maybe it's my mindset since I played competitive golf and, as golfers, we have to have a WHOLE game.  We don't concentrate on just putting, or just driving, or just trouble shots.  We have to have a whole game.

Football seems to pigeonhole players into just ONE position once you hit college.

Sounds great in theory, but players that can play both positions effectively for a full season don't grow on trees.  Travis Hunter, Deion Sanders, Troy Brown, Charles Woodson are all names that come to mind for me.
