Shadowing Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Alec Pierce step for step, Derek Stingley Jr. read the play perfectly.
Stingley was aware that he needed to protect the perimeter should Colts veteran quarterback Matt Ryan attempt to fire in a high lob pass. Mirroring Pierce’s movements, Stingley redirected his trail technique to react when Pierce broke his route inside.
It was a fairly smooth debut for the third overall pick of the draft in his first NFL regular-season game, a 20-20 tie to the Colts. He had seven tackles, three solos and the one pass defensed.Stingley looked comfortable in all situations and was his usual low-key self in discussing his performance.Fully recovered from a Lisfranc foot injury that required surgery, the Baton Rouge, La.
At 6′0″, 190 pounds, with a recorded 4.37 40-yard dash, Stingley has speed to burn. The Texans identified him as the top cornerback on their draft board and thus, selected him one pick before the New York Jets drafted Cincinnati All-American corner Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner. Then, Stingley signed a fully guaranteed, four-year, $34.6 million contract that includes a $22.3 million signing bonus and a fifth-year club option.
