Dallas Cowboys cornerback B.W. Webb is a superstar in the making
June 20, 2013

Before the start of the season last year, I had B.W. Webb as the top small school cornerback in the game. I had him higher than Robert Alford and every other small school player, for one simple fact, HEART.
I watched almost every William and Mary game of B.W. and I was impressed at his cover skills. Webb is not afraid of taking on the big name wide receiver, and he never shies away from contact. B.W. is a player that doesn’t talk a lot, but rather keeps you quiet by his intelligent play.
At the end of the season Webb had made me feel even better about my evaluation of him. I had the pleasure to sit down with B.W. and I was blown away with this kids knowledge of the game. Remember this is a small schooler that had Boston College drooling over him coming out of high school. He ultimately chose William and Mary because of a full scholarship. He compares his play to Asante Samuel and I believe that is a pretty fair comparision.
B.W. has been learning quite a bit from former Grand Valley State corner and current Cowboy Brandon Carr.
“Brandon Carr is like my mentor now,” said Webb, speaking at Carr’s celebrity softball game to benefit stopping domestic abuse on Saturday. “He helps me out with techniques, plays, all that. It’s helping out a lot.”
For Carr, its an opportunity to give back. When he was drafted by Kansas City in 2008, former All-Pro Patrick Surtain became his principle adviser, helping to mold him into the cornerback worthy of the big contract in 2012.
In Webb, Carr saw somebody who reminded him of himself (“Kind of quiet but with a lot of athletic ability) and somebody who had a similar path. Webb is a fourth-round pick from the FCS’s William & Mary. Carr was a fifth-round pick from Division II’s Grand Valley State.
Remember to keep an eye on B.W. Webb this year, he will be a special player, and will contribute more to this team than Mike Jenkins did.

Soon the NFL will know the power of Black Wiener.
