He’s a great prospect. We’ll see if his career lives up to it’s potential. I would’ve been thrilled if we got Pitts, but maybe Waddle + the TE we took from Boston College will prove to be a good combo as well. Either way, this team hasn’t had so much talent and depth in I don’t know how long, maybe since the 90’s
Agreed... but that is the hardest thing to measure. We really never know what a player sees, or whether they just guessed correctly, or even if they've just been coached to break a certain way at a certain time... sometimes, I think we confuse quickness with vision-- conflating the two.
I said it before he runs a bit like a good RB. Most fast WRs will catch turn up and run to where they see the most daylight. Waddle will just almost stop and wait for a tackler to commit then bounce away like a RB. He has very good patience with the ball and let's things develop. That is why some posters in a different thread were thinks Grant was faster on film. Grant is definitely not faster. Waddle just doesn't always go full out, he has that wait and feel to his running.
