Interesting post about speed at WR

I like football players who run track. I don’t care about track athletes who play football. 40 times are incredibly overrated as a metric for receivers. Obviously you can’t be slow but a 4.5 guy who runs crisp routes, gets open and catches everything is way more important than a guy who runs 4.3 in a straight line but nothing else.

Horton is in UDFA territory at the moment. We have a tendency on this board to overestimate how early players who aren’t ready for the next level yet could be drafted.

Short-area twitch is essential.

I think we need to add a WR in the Portal. Trader and Carr have a chance to be very good.

I hope they step up. with them and Horton we should be ok.
I really like this kid Toney. he's a dawg.
 
I’m cool with adding a WR but let’s make sure we pick correctly this time Sam Brown has no dawg in him and he’s left a lot to be desired…

I’d rather roll with Horton, Carr, jojo and RayRay if we can’t get a for sure stud

im not sure Ray Ray has what it takes.
Brown I think has another year but I dont care if he or ray ray come back to be honest.

Btw, everyone is forgetting about Chance.

I’d rather not have brown come back next year unless it’s for a low ball NIL deal… I’d rather see the young pups get reps and build than see stop gaps going through the motion.

Didn’t forget chance just don’t see him beating out Horton… do expect to actually see him see the field though in rotation.

Horton is good. Honestly, I'm most excited about Ny Carr. I think we will start getting the caliber of WR's our program has always produced.
We are good at RB and TE.

Agreed. That’s why not I’m wanting to shake up the rooms chemistry with bringing in just a warm body like a Sam brown…. It needs to be a JSmith type of talent where it’s not even a question to anyone including the room.

Horton is catching balls (pause) from a guy right now who literally turned down the NFL draft with a 3/4th round projection to come back to school for a big payday via NIL AND raised himself into the 1st round. Why on Earth would he NOT come back?

False equivalency. Talent wasn’t why cam was going low at that point of his career. There’s no real path for horton to all of a sudden be Ahmmon Richards

I don’t see him as a 1st round guy. He’s not going to run fast enough at the combine (40, short shuttle, etc.) to go that high.

He’ll be the next in a long line of WR who come into the league cheap and hang around for a decade collecting a huge contract. Might as well start that journey now.

or he gets drafted lower in the 4/5th round and is cut in two years. Take the NIL and improve your craft and draft status
