Not sure of what Sehorn's measurable were, so it's hard to make a direct comparison. DRC is probably a little more fluid in his movements, but both were big and fast. Sehorn could really jump too. I don't know that I've seen DRC jump like that, but I saw a lot more of Sehorn so who knows.
Too bad his injury blew up his career. DRC is injury prone himself.
DRC is probably the fastest Giant right now, faster than Sehorn for sure, but in terms of being the better athlete, I think Sehorn was the more agile one.
But he made a mistake when he got a LOT bigger after the knee injury. He beefed up to 230 pounds and lost his quickness. He played a lot better at 210.
excelled at many sports and physical endeavors. Not sure about DRC. Sehorn probably could have been in the Olympics and done well in multiple events in his prime.
Sehorn wasn't injury prone. He had that one knee and that's it as far as I know.
his best 40 time ever was a 4.37 and that was fresh out of college. DRC can run and jump like few people in the world. Sehorn had the size that DRC does not have so if you add that into the mix with athletic ability then maybe they are equals but as it stands DRC is on another level.
But he always seems to be playing through some nagging injury.
The interesting thing is that there are always at least a handful of white receivers, but not cornerbacks. The athletic traits are similar for both positions, so you'd think there would be more overlap.

One of the things mentioned in the awesome video linked above is that Sehorn started as a WR in JUCO and only switched to DB at USC because they told him he could start right away if he switched and he'd be a backup at WR.
Was signed to a MLB contract by the Cubs as a freshman in College. Won the Superstars competition 3 years running. Played WR in College and then moved to DB.
One of the most complete athletes around during the early 2000's
He was fast, violent, durable and mentally strong. The only white DB in the league, got crazy shit yapped on the field and still dominated. Not to mention he was big. Built like a truck. Dude could run like a gazelle. He was an all around beast. The stupid kick return ruined what could have been a HoF career. He was sick.
But DRC has an extra gear that few have ever had in football. When he hits it, everyone looks like they are barely moving. I love watching that guy run.
Sehorn was definitely stronger and a better athlete overall.
But DRC is a little faster. DRC is easily one of the fastest players I've seen in a Giants uni. When he kicks it into top gear the dude flat out flies.
The ability to stick your foot in the ground and drive on a route or flip your hips and sheperd a receiver out is what Sehorn was great at. He was lockdown city.
He tore up his knee returning a kick, I believe. Wanted to do it, and Fassel agreed to let him.
Was it microfracture? In that time, you didn't come back from injuries like that.
It was a preseason game vs. Jets. Fassel did not want Sehorn to return ko's but Sehorn nagged him. I guess after Sehorn proved his worth to Fassel, maybe he earned Jim's respect too.
Either way, Fassel relented and the rest is history. To answer the above question, Sehorn never had the ability to cut on a dime after his surgery. I suppose it was similar to what happened to Steve Smith, Jr.
I really hope Victor Cruz with the advances in surgery can do what those 2 guys couldn't.
DRC is world class fast and a good athlete himself.
no clue how you differentiate them.

This is a legitimate question. Has there been a single white cornerback since Sehorn?
DRC is faster but not by much, DRC ran a sub 4.3 40, Sehorn 4.3.
DRC is one of the 25 fastest players to play (in 2011). Sehorn not far behind.
it's why I say it's hard to differentiate them.

Sehorn's just wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Sehorn wasn't injury prone. He had that one knee and that's it as far as I know.
However, I thought that would be a tenancy, not a rule as we see the distribution of black & white Oline 7 Dline players.
I wonder if Sehorn could have been a good WR?
At being a monster like lebron athletically? Sehorn
Short answer Sehorn but not by much. DRC is incredibly fast and fluid and long.
I could be wrong but I think he's missed 2 games in his whole career including last week

That sums it up.
The rest is covered by Sehorn...
Flat out speed, I'd say Cro but the total package I'd go with Sehorn without question.
My opinion better than Cromartie

Section, I remember Irvin pushing off all the time and the refs rarely if ever called it. I used to get livid over it.
he caught it about the 1, weaved through traffic to about the 35 and had someone roll up on his leg.
from the way it looked he could have been a legit KR threat too.

alive. Irving would push off a lot on CBs, not on Sehorn and Sehorn ran step for step with him.
