Perennial All-Pro
Boomer.. Let me know what you think of WR Lamar Slade from Pittsburgh.. This is from "On The Clock".. Sounds like a good prospect..
6'4" - 209 lbs
4.56 Estimated 40
649 Yards - 13.5 Yards/Rec 4 TD
He went largely unnoticed by most of the country due to Pitt’s frosh phenom, Larry Fitzgerald. (Who is a future super star.) Slade is big, pretty fast, very quick, strong and smart. He had 50 receptions as a senior for a very good Pitt team. He catches with his hands and runs very good routes. He was a major reason behind Fitzgerald’s success. Teams were worrying about Slade early in the season and it allowed the Frosh to excel. Slade was part of the three man rotation for his first three years and he had a lot of receptions. He has perfect size and he knows how to use his very good quickness to beat DB’s at the line. He is a good athlete, not a great one, but a good one. He is extremely solid in most aspects of his game. He drives DB’s back and drops his hips and cuts very nicely. He extends his arms and attacks at the line. Sometimes, he gets off balance. He swivels his hips and he has very good footwork. He has big hands and he almost never drops a pass. He’s not selfish and he puts the team first. He drops his hips and gets get leverage while blocking. He’s very strong and is able to stay on blocks longer than most WR’s. He has a 35 inch vertical jump and he times his jumps real well. He is very focused and will often come down with the ball in groups because of sheer strength and focus. He is extremely valuable inside because of quickness and strength and he knows how to use his body to keep DB’s at bay. He’s not a true deep threat but he is so quick that he can really juke a guy and get past him on out and ups. He is very dependable, focused and he makes his share of plays. He runs good routes and he is constantly working hard. He is pretty good after the catch because he can string together moves. He is a good athlete and there is little that Slade cannot do, overall. Having said that, he isn’t a big play maker. Although he is dependable, he doesn’t score many touchdowns. He isn’t a true deep threat and good CB’s wont bite on his up fakes. He is a very good receiver but he has only been a full time starter for one year and he still needs time to adjust to real fast DB’s. He works hard but he has a very easy going demeanor and he doesn’t fight hard enough sometimes. This receiver is quick, strong, smart and he has good hands and jumping skills. He is excellent all the way around and is self motivated but he isn’t super or spectacular. He will be a very good #3 receiver who can become a very good #2 receiver. With good workouts he could move way up, he’s that good.
Also, Let me know what you think of WR Anton Paige from Texas Tech and WR JR Tolver from San Diego State.. Thanks..
