nhuskers5 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 His acceleration away from that corner on the first play was absolutely ridiculous Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Anybody know what class he plays in? I know it's a highlight reel, but those defenses are plain bad at tackling. I suspect those defenses don't have much speed either because he absolutely flies by everybody like they're standing still. I'd like to see some blocking and him catch some contested balls.

If that's the case, and the highlights actually show decent teams, then the kid is ridiculously fast. Quote Link to comment
Husker Richard Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Man, he's got some wheels. Sign him up. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I know I'm not a great talent evaluator, but there were a few things that worried me. Outside of the few curl routes and running the ball from the wildcat, I noticed just about every route he ran was a fly. No doubt the kid has wheels, but I guess I just would have liked to see a bit more diversity in his route running. Quote Link to comment
father5 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 This kid reminds me of Desean Jackson. I like his falt out speed as well as his burst and quick feet. Some kids are straight out fast but not super quick to start, some kids have quick feet but are not blindingly fast, some have both and THEY are the ones that become NFL caliber WR and that, to me, is where this kid seems to fit. Just my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Holy cow that kid is fast. Quote Link to comment
father5 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Committed to Tennessee. Man, I loved this kid's film. He's one I wish we could have gotten. One I will watch to see how he does in college. Sigh. Quote Link to comment
