I have heard some people throwing these words around and I was wondering what the difference is in the builds for these. I am looking to make a pick machine and not a shutdown guy. Thanks.

Shutdown CB's put alot more points into the SA's of shutdown CB

Ball Hawk put alot more points into speedter SA's

No...

Ballhawking allows more catches, but also gets more INTs.

Shutdown=dedication to allow less catches and take the WR out of the game.

To summarize and oversimplify, ballhawking=medium coverage, shutdown=close coverage

No CB should have a ton of speedster SA's unless they beleive kick returning >>> coverage...

I would disagree, first step and change direction are great SA's in the speedster tree. Def worth taking over 5+

Perhaps, but overrated IMO...
