Theo, your avatar cracks me up fella.

Very reminiscent of Michael Irvin as if he developed his style by watching Irvin play. He plays very big on the field. If he has anywhere near the fire Michael had, I would draft him.

Just watching how tough he runs, and seeing guys bounce off him - this is the guy we need in the first. I'm thinking it's gonna happen.

Watch the video dude. He's not too slow. He ran a 4.4 and 4.49 at his Pro day. That's plenty fast for a guy his size. Plus, the guy can block. Whew can he block.

CalCBFan · 03-19-2007

I like the way he catches the ball w/ his hands and also his blocking ability. I too, thought he looked a bit on the slow side, but I think he would be a good replacement for T.O. Who was that WR from LSU that (I think) the Steelers drafted a couple of years ago? He was a smaller guy, but very fast. How has he done in the league?...

Good call. I actually was thinking TO because of the way he plays out of the slot and runs those crossing patterns. He probably isn't as fast as TO though. He is faster than Irvin.

Chocolate Lab · 03-19-2007

I'm just so wary of these oversized WRs that are slow... Everyone says "Next Michael Irvin" when usually they are the next Michael Jenkins.

And before anyone quotes the 40 time, I don't care about those, especially from Pro Days. He doesn't look fast at all in the video.

(Sorry for the redundancy if anyone saw nearly the exact same quote at another board.

They drafted Santonio Holmes out of Ohio State last year. Only 1st rounder. I'd say he had a pretty decent year - 800+ yards - which is pretty goof for a first year WR.

The blocking and catching with the hands caught my attention too.

What video are you watching? All I see is him breaking tackles and running away from people. I guess there are no example of him just running fly patterns and beating people, but look at the cushion some of these corners are giving him.

I do realize Scott Wright criticized him for his speed on his board, but if you look at the Senior Bowl stuff, he drew rave reviews. Noone could cover the guy. He had 46 TDs in 46 games played at LSU. That's pretty good work.

college football is more of an offensive game than pro football

Sam I Am · 03-19-2007

I think this guy could become a big time possession receiver. I like him over Meacham, Ginn, and Jarrett. Speedy receivers are easier to come by than possession receivers. Complement him with a speedy guy and you would have a pretty good receiving combo. I'm not sure he will be around at #22 though.
