Just love watching this kid play. The numbers he's putting up are ridiculous.

Having said that, I'm having a hard time determining how he projects at the NFL level. I don't know if he's clear #1 type, or a superior #2 prospect at the next level.

The one player that keeps coming to mind that he reminds me of is Koren Robinson (North Carolina State) during his early years.

Based on that last play, I'd say he has a little Desean Jackson in him.

He's simply a monster, sometimes to his own team. That fumble was unreal. Watching the coaches reactions was priceless.

He's the closest thing to TO I've seen in awhile.
I had an apartment and I had a neighbor, and whenever he would knock on my wall I knew he wanted me to turn my music down and that made me angry 'cause I like loud music... so when he knocked on the wall, I'd mess with his head. I'd say, "Go around! I cannot open the wall! I dunno if you have a doorknob on your side but over here there's nothin'. It's just flat."

Reminds me of Anquan Boldin, really. He resembles TO physically but he doesn't have that same burst and explosiveness.

With that being said, I am a little skeptical about his potential in the NFL. He's dominating on the college level due to his physical advantage over the competition but without that top speed and size (he's still only 6'1"), I dunno if he'll be dominating in the NFL.

I do laugh at those that say he's better than Dez.

He actually reminds me of Mike Williams in college...but if he becomes a Dallas Cowboy I hope he doesn't play like Mike Williams the pro.

You know, he doesn't remind me of Boldin physically, but I do actually think that he projects to be a Boldin-like receiver in the pros. Like Boldin, I don't think he has the straight-line speed to be a consistent threat deep, but he is a chain-mover that can take over a game like Boldin would at times during his early years.

I really think if you put Blackmon next to a guy like Calvin Johnson in Detroit, the kid would flourish.

Maybe he'll run a bad 40 time and we can grab him in the 2nd/3rd round next year to be our #3

I can dream at least.

I was watching an interview on youtube I believe; a few months back. He said he learned a lot from Dez having to do with work ethic and how to prepare. He seems like a good guy.

Guys like Kendall Wright, Broyles and Joe Adams all would be great potential slot receivers.

He is a stud. He will be a stud in the NFL.
