Time to go!!
hopefully the 49ers draft and start himExactly.
thing is more do exist, but they are reverse racism'd (by their own white kind) to think they aren't as athletic as us and are moved/talked out of the more athletic positions. shyt is goofy as hell. So when you do see a white dude like him, or CMAC, you like

Honestly.....lots of white boys have fast-twitch muscles. The problem is that they are usually bodybuilder/strongman types like Halfthor or Arnold...or big football guys like JJ Watt.
5'11" 195 lb white boys with quickness end up being the 2-guard on their H.S. basketball squad or doing something like soccer, baseball and swimming. If they play football, it's offense because coach makes them QB and then because they're short but understand football....if they make it to the NFL, become slot receivers (Julian Edelman for example).
Basically, CB-sized white dudes either don't have the athletic ability or they make their $$$ in another sport.
A lot of black corners would be soccer players if they grew up in Africa/Europe/Brazil....or they'd be baseball players if this was 1950.

Whyte football coaches view their own as athletically inferior. They rarely even get a real chance at CB, so they say fk it and focus on another sport or position.

nah he legit..wouldn’t mind Philly drafting him..he already better than Bradberry
if there were "lots" there would be more of them.
that sort of quickness and explosion is not something you can hide among regular folk
There are. The guy just explained the whole thing in his post
I never said that there werent, the issue is that there is clearly not enough.
That whole white players do others things is patently false.
I went to high school with white guys playing cb/wr/rb. etc.
However they just werent quick or fast as their black counterparts to play that position at the next level.
They will tell you that

Empire strikes back
corner and specifically outside corner is the most athletically demanding position in football, since you have to react on a dime, and have to defend against double moves. you need fluid hips 
to change direction suddenly and move laterally and you also need elite acceleration/agility to recover
there are a few exceptions with press man corners and zone-dominant corners who win with physicality, positioning, leverage and smarts but they are pretty rare and they still need some baseline athleticism
white DBs usually dont have that combination of athleticism and fluidity. hence why they're usually put at safety where they dont have to move laterally a lot to get turned around, and mostly attack downfield
with cooper theres no doubt about his raw athletic ability, but fluidity is still a big question mark

Folks commenting in here haven't watched one snap of DeJean's tape or games. Dude legit was the best cover corner on that team as well as maybe their best offensive weapon as a return specialist.
