yeah, Josh Morgan of VT ran right by him in their bowl game. Although Morgarn dropped the pass, he had him clearly beat.

On the other hand, earlier in the game he picked off a pass on the sidelines & took it to the house. He's a good punt returner too, very swift w/his cuts.

I think part of the reason guys in college ball will get beat deep by lesser recievers is that they think they can gamble more at that level. If the guy has a decent head on his shoulders then he'll mature as a pro & play more disciplined.

In short, you can't expect the game tape of many college players to show a finished product. Talib looks like a very good nfl corner IMO.
