Why do you like this pick up so much?
I don't not like it, but its the one I'm least psyched about of the three. Although on the VQ instant react video they said he could be a David Martin type, who I was a fan of back in the day.
If you look at 247Sports, they don't think too highly of him. They had him ranked as the #9 overall prospect a few years back, but the VQ guys said he tore his ACL his sophmore season and ballooned up to over 250lbs. Guess he finally started to realize that football is his ticket and shed 30lbs to get to his playing weight now.
They also weren't convinced he ends up at WR. Which makes sense. Kid still has 2-3 years of growing left. Could be a WR, TE, or somewhere on defense.
This kid can be a David Martin type of player with more speed and athleticism. He has the tools and body to dominate red zone and work the intermediate routes and protect the pass by using his body similar to basketball with the box out. With that being said I can see the downside of it too. I've been around a plenty of Dbs and they love going against big body Wrs because they're easy to jam in press coverage and most aren't found ro run by them.
