wayyyyy to short for a wideout.

ever hear of a guy named Abdul Muhammad?

Ever heard of this guy?

 

[Street Novelist]

Steve Smith did not play for Nebraska. Abdul Muhammad did.

[huskerguy]

ok? I knew Steve Smith never played for Nebraska lol... I was just showing the guy a more prominent example of a 5"9 WR being successful.

sure, there are exceptions, but there are very few WR's at 5'9" making a real impact, even in the NFL.

[Street Novelist]

Abdul Muhammad had a huge impact on our 94' championship team. He was only 5'9''; that's why I brought him up. Point being, how can you judge this guy without seeing any of his film?

that Jackson for the Eagles? came from Cal? he was great last year

[Hunter94]

well, you never know....so far there are no articles on the kid, he rates a 1* and no one is talking about him, but it is still early.....at 5"9" and 155 he has some real liability in size as a projected wide out, he would have to add at least 25 lbs. to survive in D1 ball, at any position.

Maybe so, but if he's shifty enough and has what scouts like to call wiggle then he could be a serious punt return and kick return threat. That alone would make him worthy of a scholarship.

 

What would you rather have...

 

A 5'9" 160 pound guy who is explosive in the punt and kick-off return game? A guy that's a threat to score a TD every time he fields a kick?

 

Or, a 6'5" 220 WR and a 6'2" 210 WR that don't return kicks, have rarely seen the field and have under-achieved their entire Husker careers ala Will Henry and Chris Brooks?

 

Note: I'm not bagging on Henry or Brooks here, I'm simply illustrating how there are times when you have to look beyond the eyeball test and look for football players.

 

Also, there are numerous guys who make a decent living doing nothing but playing special teams in the NFL.

1 star means he hasn't been rated. come on now, stop bagging on the guy

come on, think about it.........any less than 180, even the waterboy gets his ass kicked in D-1 ball.

trendon holliday from LSU?????

[huskertim]

How about Darren Sproles, or Cory Ross for that matter. i know they aren't WR s but last I checked they do get hit occasionally and both were drawing NFL money last year.

The trend to bigger receivers has led to bigger corners, and physics tells us that larger boddies will not be as agile (able to change direction/position). Then again, Newton never coached football.
