I recall a video back in the day of Clayton jumping over a Volkswagon bug.I think Clayton had an insane Vertical like Washington’s 42 inch
This is a fantastic conversation about Malik. Super pumped.
Dont know about body or tape comparison but his combine numbers- height, weight, speed, quickness are all comparable to steve smith jr. Even if he only ends up a qrter of the player smith was its still worth a 6th rounder. It would be nice to get a taller wr for redzone/goaline situations but he just fits what we do on offense which is all about separation and timing.
I think the one physical element that clayton had over malik was arm length, if I recall Clayton had long ass arms.I recall a video back in the day of Clayton jumping over a Volkswagon bug.
Mark Clayton's vertical was 38.5" according to a 1985 article by the legendary sports writer Dave Anderson.I think Clayton had an insane Vertical like Washington’s 42 inch
I looked for an arm length measurement on Clayton, but couldn't find one. His arms always looked ridiculously long.I think the one physical element that clayton had over malik was arm length, if I recall Clayton had long ass arms.
I am mindless, but I gave a reason.My one criticism of Malik was that I saw him as a slot only prospect, but I've been rethinking that position. I keep seeing so much of Mark Clayton in his game and Clayton played all-over.
I don't want to be one of those mindless posters who just keeps saying we need a a tall receiver for no reason. What we need is a third option that can get separation and make contested catches. What you need for that is quickness, good route running, core strength and a good catch radius. Malik has that (so did Clayton).
Wanting a guy who can make contested catches isn't mindless. The part I bristle at is the assumption that it's something big receivers are always better at. That's the part that is a false assumption.I am mindless, but I gave a reason.
When teams take away the middle of the field like they have for the past 2 years I think we need a guy who can pull off the 10 yard back shoulder catch.
That being said. As I stated elsewhere we could use a guy to spell Tyreek who gets gassed because he must run over 100 yards of motion every game. Malik might be that
