The Jets selected Alabama cornerback\u00a0Dee Milliner with their first selection (#9 overall) in the 2013 NFL draft.\u00a0 The 6’1″ 197lb corner was asked before the draft what he thought about potentially replacing All Pro CB Darrelle Revis.\u00a0 He responded:<\/p>\n

\u201cThey like me,\u201d Milliner said of the Jets, via the New York Daily News<\/em>. \u201cI know they probably like me even more now since they got rid of Revis.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There was some concern with Milliner because of a torn labrum and other injuries.\u00a0 Alabama team doctor E. Lyle Cain Jr. said it was a “relatively small labral tear” and that he expected Milliner to be ready for training camp.<\/p>\n

Scouting Analysis from CBS Sports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

STRENGTHS:<\/strong> Built well for the position. Plays with excellent coordination and smooth hips, using his arms and hands to knock down throws. Excellent awareness and read\/react ability, getting his head turned and uses his eyes well to quickly find the ball.<\/p>\n

Attacks the run and is a very good tackler, never backing down. He is a bruising hitter and does a nice job separating ball from receiver with terrific timing. Plays tight bump-and-run and enjoys pressing with little cushion. Closes quickly and baits throws, looking to make a play on each snap.<\/p>\n

Smart and disciplined, but not shy about coming off his man to make a play. Physical striker and does a nice job avoiding blocks while keeping his eye on the ball. He processes information quickly and looks comfortable in space.<\/p>\n

WEAKNESSES:<\/strong> Lacks elite speed and quick-twitch ability. Plays too aggressive at times and will take himself out of the play, missing some tackles. Has just one full season as a starter. Needs to refine some of his cover technique, most notably his backpedal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
