Actually, given today's rules, good cover CB's have to rely much more on their speed then being physical. Sure, supporting the run is good and helpful. Generally speaking, however, a CB's primary job is to cover one WR - I don't think ANYBODY plays pure zone 100% of the time. To me, run support from a CB is gravy, and, if the D is calling corner blitzes, the non-blitzing corner better be able to lock down on the hot WR or burnage will occur.
Given the rules emphasis, the emphasis on man coverage, given his skills, and IMHO, Deion (in his prime) would thrive in today's game.
