Excited to see what happens to this kid once he gets coached up.  Seems like a pretty raw receiver with awesome tools.

This.

 

Hopefully this allows our fan base to not McQuitty him and assume since he doesn't tear it up in the first few years that he's a bust.

According to Walters he goes by Peanut and may not respond if you call him Demariyon.

Sure, but no reason to jump straight to that when Houston has 4-5 years and McQuitty still has 3.

We also have Miles Jones. That guy’s HC highlight video looks really good. If he gets healthy, he could also contribute.

He’s fast but he’s pretty little. College is a much more physical game (blocking and physically of developed corners). Needs to get to 185 range. He may be around 160. No reason to rush him. Peanut that is.

Peanut had some pretty aggressive blocks in his hudl. Keeps that up and he’ll see the field early and often.

Yep. Size isn't everything with blocking. Kenny Bell proved as much in his time here.

Miles Jones is more than good once he puts it together.

I really think he’s as good with the ball in his hands as anyone we got, and with the threats we’ve now signed through 2 years that’s saying a lot. Definitely a candidate to break out in Year 2.
