CFL Draft
Is Damian Francis the Future of the CFL?
With the modernization of the game of football we have seen a seismic shift in how certain defensive backs are evaluated. In today’s game teams are looking for a bigger body, someone who can drop down and play almost like an extra linebacker. Francis has the skillset to play this role and so much more on a defense. Whether it’s out wide matched up on the #1 receiver, in the nickel matched up on the slot receiver, back deep as a single high safety, or in the box as a safety/linebacker, there is no role that he can not play within the secondary, and if a team so chose, they could even have him add a bit of weight and play LB fulltime utilizing his speed and coverage abilities. Regardless of where he lines up Damian Francis is a Defensive Coordinator’s dream, and a nightmare for opposing offenses.
