College Football Awards Finalists- and an interesting fact about Berry
"Jim Thorpe Award (nominee) (best defensive back)
Eric Berry, Tennessee
The preseason favorite to win this award certainly didn't hurt his cause. Berry ranks among the SEC's top 15 in tackles (6.9 tpg), passes defended (9) and fumble recoveries (2). The senior played more of a safety-linebacker hybrid role this fall and finished second among SEC defensive backs in total tackles with 83. "

Berry
sounds like he can do it all…
could play SS, FS, CB in the NFL… or a combination of all of those positions.
See Charles Woodson, who has been playing in multiple roles in the GB secondary, and having the best season of his career.
* "I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
* the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009
* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season
* Stats are for losers
Great
Means if we draft him we have to sit through every other post saying we should move him to linebacker just like we did with Pollard.
except...
Berry can cover and tackle :)

Nah, if only because
Berry’s size means that only the most delusional would think having him play LB would be a good idea.
The Kansas City Chief's 2009 record will be 5-11.
