Emmanuel Forbes unlocks this defense to its full Capacity. There was only two true lockdown CBs in this draft, that was Gonzalez and Forbes.

Allowing the defense to play press man and the Dline extra time to get after the passer. Top5 unit incoming!! #HTTC

.@skrajisnik3 (who covers MSSU) during a pre-draft interview with the @BeltwayFootball pod on Emmanuel Forbes: "The guy just has a knack for the ball and a knack for reading the field... He's a guy who's really comfortable being a leader and letting his play speak for itself"
