Round 5: CB Amani Oruwariye (Penn St ) : Pick # 146 ( 2019 )

Most importantly, Amani Oruwariye was cleared to practice and appears to be recovered from COVID-19 ( if even he had the virus )..

If Oruwariye continues to progress, the Lions should be in good shape at outside CB. Injuries are likely. Having quality depth and competition at CB is very important for a team like the Lions which is heavily man to man coverage oriented.

Amani Oruwariye has clearly been the Lions best coverage CB through the first 5 games of the regular season. To his credit, he recognizes that he needs to be more consistent as a tackler and in run support. I think Oruwariye is improving in these facets of play.

humm hummm let's just say that he has had a Thanksgiving eclipse today against the Texans

In the game thread, I added some thoughts about Amani Oruwariye's performance against the Texans.

One additional thought. Quick WRs, especially those that have big time vertical speed such as Will Fuller and Brandin Cooks, are the type of WRs that Amani Oruwariye doesn't appear to matchup as well against.

Moreover, theses stats don't take into account which receiver you were paired with.
He was probably playing the 2nd / 3rd string most of the time.
Still a stimulating achievement for this young player.

What you expressed about the rating system is indeed the case. Bryce Callahan and Darious Williams are Nickel CBs.

An additional thought comes to mind regarding yesterday's game, as it relates to Amani Oruwariye. The back injury that landed him on Wednesday's injury report might have been a factor in Oruwariye having his worst coverage game of the season.
