And a receiver who does not play DB might not have the toughness we are looking for. And he might not be able tackle. So I can't count on him to play special teams. Then if there are a couple injuries on defense, I can't move him over to help out. Same with defensive backs - if he does not also play receiver than he probably can't catch the football. We can't afford dropped interceptions. So we recruit for receiver with that skill set in mind. That is why you should not be surprised when you see a kid like Chris L. Rucker coming over from cornerback to play some receiver this spring."
