Possession WR infers limited athlete.This is where we disagree. Look around the NFL today, big, possession type of receivers are still productive. Julio Jones, Hopkins, Michael Thomas, etc. They demand double coverage on a consistent basis. I fully understanding the league is changing, where many smaller receivers are more effective now, due to playing more in space. However, when you look across the league, how many receivers are considered elite that fit this type of profile? Hill, Hilton, maybe Cooks. It doesn't mean you don't target such a receiver, but teams need to make sure such a receiver has more in his toolbox outside of elite speed. They may have dominated on the college level with their superior talent, but they need more on the highest level. Ruggs, seems to have depth in his game, but I'm not sure a player like Hamler does.
That is not a description of Julio Jones...
