That's an incredible one. I'm going to have to go back and watch Monk. Obviously, he was an all-time great.Brian Thomas Jr = Art Monk
I just don't agree that being about a step faster in a straight line is all that big of a difference in the NFL. History has taught us that route running and separation are far more important variables.Bryant ran a 4.42. Thomas ran a 4.33. It is a different gear.

Worthy: Titus Young, Henry Ruggs
Roman Wilson: Emmanuel Sanders, Jayden Reed.
Off the top of my head w/o researching, Troy Williamson, Darius Heyward Bey, Matt Jones, Kevin White, Charles Rogers. I'm sure there's more. I'm not saying Thomas will be one of those guys, but there have been many big, fast WRs that busted b/c they never developed their route running. It's not as rare as you think. In fact, the guys like DK Metcalf who do develop actually are rare.I agree to be a great WR like Jefferson you have to be a great route runner, but 6-3, 200 pound receivers running a 4.3 are very rare. They are an automatic big play waiting to happen. Name me some 6-3 200 pound receivers running sub 4.35. Show me the precedent.
D K Metcalf wasn’t a great route runner either, but that size, speed still makes him a threat.
Kiran Amegadjie - Terron Armstead (or Austin Jackson if not so charitable)Player comps are always about body types or play styles. It's never about saying they will have the same career as another player.
For me:
Verse-Chubb
Latu-Phillips
Barton-Zach Tom
Brian Thomas-a faster Davante Parker
McConkey-Welker
Roman Wilson-Pacua Nacua
Kevin White fits. Bey is 6-2. Matt Jones didn’t break 4.35. Neither did Williamson.Off the top of my head w/o researching, Troy Williamson, Darius Heyward Bey, Matt Jones, Kevin White, Charles Rogers. I'm sure there's more.

DeJean is so much faster than Weddle thoCooper Dejean = Eric Weddle
