Toriano Pride

No. 32 · Rookie

Speedy, undersized, and trying to prove he belongs on 53

The label follows him already: fast, but small, and probably a slot-only guy. For a rookie cornerback trying to make an NFL roster, that is a ceiling being drawn before the season even starts.

Toriano Pride Jr. is new enough to the league that there is still more question than answer around him. What is known is that he is a rookie, he is quick, and he does not carry prototypical size for the position. Those two things tend to pull against each other in roster decisions.

The question on the table is whether Pride can show he is more than one kind of player — that his game travels outside the slot, where teams typically put their smaller corners. If the answer is yes, the conversation changes. If it stays a question, the math on a 53-man roster gets harder.

Rookie corners earn their spot by making the question disappear. Pride's whole summer is about doing exactly that.
