Chad Owens was 5'7''.
Bess is 5' 11''.
Same speed as Bess.
His production at Hawaii was not as phenonimal as Bess's either.
Analysis on Chad Owens going into the 05' draft was as follows:
" ANALYSIS: Ultra productive in a passing offense, Owens is a feisty skill player, productive handling the ball. Projects as a fifth receiver in the NFL but must make his mark as a return specialist. "
Analysis on Bess going into the 2008 NFL draft:
" ANALYSIS: Bess has been a productive wideout at Hawaii and shows a solid game. Though he may not pass the eyeball test, he is sure to be a productive third receiver at the next level. "
People know what Bess can do. The only thing they are scared of is the fact that he came from a pass happy offense. Some people are just good at what they do.
He should not have went undrafted. I was calling for him in the 6th round. I have a feeling he comes into traning camp with those sticky hands and overtakes Camarillo and Hagan for the third reciever position.
