Which is so strange and drives me nuts cuz it's such bad technique. I see NFL CBs doing that all the time. I was taught in high school football and basketball that you open up to the offensive player. It's the only way and allows you to recover. The 180 robs you of steps and position. 

Because kids watched Darrell Revis and now watch Richard Sherman do that speed turn on basically every play. Those guys watched Deion do it every play. They could/can do it because they had/have the athleticism and most importantly the instincts to recover from being out of position normally. It’s why those guys don’t get beat deep normally, but it’s not something every corner can do. Sherm especially doesn’t have the recovery speed if he’s beaten deep, which I’m sure is why he does it, but he has amazing instincts to recover before QBs not named Rodgers can beat him underneath. Most CBs, like King, don’t have that and do get beat.
