Last year Hartzog wasn't 100% corner even when he was '100% corner'.

He's much better suited at his size to line up inside rather than outside.

I’m not sure it’s 100% ideal but with the injury to Blye Hill and theoretical addition at safety it makes a lot of sense. Ethan Nation & Bootle are both of the same build and are vying for that spot now. Probably the two top guys after Hill went down.

Hill is supposed to recover in time.

Don't be surprised if Bootle makes a similar transition inside one day. This staff wants more length on the outside. They train most of these DBs for multiple positions so they can play at what they are ultimately best at.

Hartzog may still make an occasional start outside if needed, but ultimately you move a guy where he's best at, if at all possible. Cooper in his early spring press conference apologized for putting Hartzog where he did last year, citing injuries as a prime reason. He's said he wants him exclusively inside this year, rather than moving him around all of the time. He also flat out said moving Hartzog was about Hartzog and not a reflection of strength at the corner position.

^^^^ Dafuq?

Never mind. That's just the spring where we didn't add anyone and lost some guys who never played
