Looks like he played til 2013. I was thinking no CB since Asomugha. It was unfortunate when Hughes played only a few games in the NFL. He was a superstar in college. I think other CBs drafted were Syd'quan, S. Williams, and Marc Anthony.
But I'd agree Cal CBs haven't had the NFL success that we've seen with other positions. Not sure if it's coaching, or maybe NFL CBs need athleticism that we've struggled to bring in.
Also FWIW Bynum, like Chris Conte, played CB in college but will be a safety in the NFL.

Cal has had some CBs drafted but none stayed in the league the past 10 years. I hope Bynum can be a contributor.
Asomugha, although he may have been 10 years exact.

The average career for an NFL cornerback is less than 3 years, per https://www.statista.com/statistics/240102/average-player-career-length-in-the-national-football-league/. Ten years is a pretty high bar.

I meant in the recent 10 years we haven't had a CB in NFL that had a playing time.
Yeah I saw that news too. Looks like another year without Cal CB in NFL.
He was a safety. We've had some successful safeties. Davis, Hawkins, Conte, DeCoud, Giordano
I don't know where your confidence comes from. You always say you are the majority.
Happy as hell for Cam but was hoping the Niners were going to take him.
Congrats Camryn!
Whoohoo! Go Bears!! Skol!
