Kamren Curl is better than advertised

It seems as though every time we appear to get our arms around newly signed free agent defensive back Kamren Curl, he puts up another impressive performance that causes us to raise the bar one more time. That skyrocketing trend of his performance continues with the joint practice session with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Kamren Curl is someone to watch. At 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, he is big enough to play linebacker, adept at pass coverage to play cornerback. versatile enough at both run and pass support to play safety, and has that Super-Saiyan feel that former Defensive Coordinator Raheem Morris sought so adamantly to put in the back of his defense.

He is an enforcer. A player whose tackles will linger in the memory of any and every ball carrier that he brings down. He loves to tackle. And better still, he is so good at it that he will bring cheers from the fans. But if he was signed to the team to be a hard-hitting tackler who can line up in the box to stuff the run, then the front office must have added the optional upgrades as well.

Curl has been dominant in pass coverage. From sideline to sideline, from the line of scrimmage to deep in center field, wherever the football flies, there is Kamren Curl tracking its arc to either deny the reception or to claim the football for his own. He added another interception in the joint practice session against the Los Angeles Chargers, a deep pass thrown by QB Easton Stick.

Kamren Curl is better than advertised.
