Hey let's not knock Miles Austin that guy is an animal, and he's just hitting his prime. He'll be around for a long while.
People don't realize how athletic he is. He was over 6'2", 215 lbs, had a 1.56/2.64 split to go with a 4.47 in the 40, 40.5 inch vertical, 10'3" broad jump, 4.14 shuttle and 7.09 cone drill.
His ridiculous production once he finally got the opportunity was no fluke. Sometimes when you come out of Monmouth and you're playing behind more heralded guys like Terrell Owens and Roy Williams, Patrick Crayton...you have to earn your stripes.
The guy only took 28% of the snaps in the first four games of the year. Not surprisingly he was thrown at 12 times and produced 5 catches for 81 yards and 1 TD.
From then on the Cowboys pumped his playing time up to 79%, and threw at him 126 times, and he caught 87 of those balls for 1,355 yards and 11 TDs. Let's be clear here, we're talking about from the moment he became a starter, 10.8 yards per ATTEMPT in his direction, with 1 TD and 113 yards per game over twelve games.
He's been grooming this whole time waiting to bust out and believe me, he has. I would definitely consider taking him with a 1st and 3rd.
