He's an athletic guy, no doubt about that, but he has pretty poor hands and sucks as a route runner. Hi hype, was as a late day three pick. He was a volume receiver.
My point was people get this idea in their head and they forget there is a reason the guy dropped out of the first 7 rounds...there were 28 WRs drafted and he was seen as below all of them.
I respect your opinion and I assume you've watched a lot of tape on this dude but
in this case I have seen zero evidence to support your claim "poor hands" and
"sucks as a route runner."
I think his pro day more than anything dropped him -- obviously compounded by
his (supposed) "character issues." From my perspective -- I could care less what his
40 time vertical eyeball twitch factor is -- I see a kid that makes plays and via his
interviews I think he gets "it" at this point in his life.
Beyond that -- I'm giving myself the luxury of being totally optimistic about the kids
upside and what he can bring to the field.
Everybody here gets it -- he wasn't drafted and there are reasons for that -- however
that fact does NOT preclude the possibility he will demonstrate some of the (IMO) impressive
attributes he showed in his 1 season to shine...
I think the kid is hungry. And I think he's out to prove a big sharp jagged point!
Perhaps it will prove laughable but I'm as excited about his potential as I am for any
player we drafted.
Have fun!
Drink more tequila!
