Ill agree he is not a great run defender, but I won't go as far as you would. Showed the willingness to play safety which is a more physical position. A lot of good corners in this draft. He is one i definitely wouldn't mind drafting.
Okay. I'll post video evidence tonight, then.

He's #7 at the top of the screen. He has a chance to take on Henry or the OL and try to make a stop, but he instead purposefully overruns the play to keep from being bulldozed. Trust me, this is the tip of the iceberg.

You have a pulling OL coming for Sutton again. What does Sutton do? He gets out of the way by purposefully taking himself out of the play to avoid contact.

Watch him come up from his corner spot and make a completely half-assed tackle attempt. He flops to the ground and halfheartedly throws one arm at Henry who is running by. Sutton wanting nothing to do with tackling Henry was actually a consistent theme that popped up throughout this game.

This time he has to come up and hit Henry. You can see that he wants very little to do with that. He hesitates, then makes a halfhearted tackle attempt, and allows Henry to pickup 7 yards on what should have been a gain of 0-2 yards because of his feeble tackle attempt.

Here's the cherry on top of a fucking pitiful performance. Look at the scoreboard and the time left in the game. Watch Sutton make no effort to stop Henry. In fact, he purposefully runs himself out of the play and then watches as Henry runs through the lane he vacated to score the game-winning TD. He did that with the game on the line.
You guys want that sort of bullshit on our defense? I sure as hell don't. It's pathetic and embarrassing to see such shit effort.
But I recognize that some might say, "Maybe he was hurt against Alabama? Maybe he didn't play so pathetically soft in other games?"
Here's a video of him doing the exact same shit against Virginia Tech:

He's #23 at the bottom of the screen. Watch as he purposefully runs himself out of the play to avoid contact.
I disagree though he is a definitely a strong cover corner. He had 13 pass break ups and 3 picks in 2014 then teams didn't throw at him 15. He was healthy all his career and had the unfortunate injury this year.
I disagree. Here's Calvin Ridley lighting him up in 2015:

Cam Sutton is projected to go in the first two rounds of this draft. This CB class is ridiculously stacked. In order for me to even consider him in the first two rounds of THIS class, he'd have to be a shutdown CB because of how soft and pathetic he is as a run defender.
He's not a shutdown CB. He's a good cover CB. But there are a lot of guys on par or better than him as cover CBs in this class who don't run away from contact or piss their pants when they see Derrick Henry coming at them.
