Yes, Carrington Valentine should have caught at least one of the two passes that Jameis Winston threw to him.
It's not surprising, however. It's part of the reason he was available for the Packers in the seventh round two years ago.

How did Carrington Valentine nearly go undrafted?
Carrington Valentine came from college football's premier conference and has already moved to the upper reaches of one of the NFL's top cornerback rooms. So how did he last until the end of the draft?
