McKelvin Ball Skills?

The Bills have just finished talking about Leodis McKelvin, their first pick in the draft today. What's not to like? Tom Modrak, the Bills VP of College Scouting, described McKelvin as "an all-around cornerback, really good athlete, with quick feet and explosion." Bills Coach Dick Jauron said "We've seen him play both left and right corner, he's got good size and very quick feet. He strengthens us in the return game." There were questons about McKelvin's "ball skills" and the fact that he had a total of 4 interceptions in his four years at Troy. He had two last year, both in the same game. Modrak said "We looked at that, the numbers can be misleading. He gets his hands on the ball, but always doesn't come up with the pick."
