Panthers, Round 1. Was a redshirt sophomore. Another wide receiver who went pretty much exactly where we expected him to in the draft – at the end of Round 1. And he ends up in a fantastic situation for him, … Continue reading →

Steelers, Round 4. Was a junior. He enters a WR corps as probably the fourth-best guy, but he provides the size and the red-zone target the team’s been trying to rediscover for years since Plaxico Burress left town the first time. … Continue reading →

UDFA. Was a junior. Signed as a UDFA by the Saints but released in August. Positives: Tight end height with good wide receiver bulk. Adequate hand size. Generally above-average hands and can extend and snag even in the rain. Above-average speed … Continue reading →

Positives: Runs with above-average speed and quickness. Adequate acceleration off the line and after the catch. When running routes, he is fairly quick in and out of his breaks. Above-average hands and extends and adjusts fairly well to catch passes … Continue reading →
