Pat Calvary has seen the look enough times, the knowing grin of a taller wide receiver who takes one glance at Liberty’s 5-foot-9 cornerback and says to himself, “I’m gonna flat own this dude.”
Then the snap comes, and Calvary jams his man at the line of scrimmage. Once downfield, he uses his athleticism and smarts to be at the exact right spot to deny a reception or intercept a pass.
In short, Calvary more than makes up for his lack of size with superior technique and will. A four-year starter, he was a first-team all-Big South selection at cornerback as a junior, when he intercepted four passes (and dropped three more, LU defensive backs coach Marshall Roberts adds.)
