The challenges of scouting are highlighted by the unfolding careers of two cornerbacks selected in the 2011 NFL Draft: Patrick Peterson and Richard Sherman. While most scouts expected Peterson, taken fifth overall by the Arizona Cardinals, to emerge as one of the top players in the NFL, few thought that Sherman, a fifth-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks, would become more than a spot player. However, to this point in their brief careers, both players have earned either Pro Bowl honors or All-Pro recognition, and both are regarded by scouts as two of the best at the position.
