    Doing you all a favor, reverse psychology. If I get on board with this pick he will be another washed out little guy.

    Well Tyreek Hill is a shade over 5'8'' and Jalen Waddle is 5'9-1/2"... so maybe the smurfs are back in Miami. That's a pretty fearsome WR room right there.

    They also had Marino throwing them the ball.

    I simply made the observation that size might not be the best indicator of a Wide receiver's worth

    Not my words, it's what the article infers due to the Ravens believing he was their guy and on no one else's radar until we snatched him up.

    Dude might be small but he is extremely fast and elusive 4.3 40 is awesome LFG

    If they play this guy consistently enough as a normal wr then I can see him having a lot of success. The other guys were used sparingly and they were true gadget rb types. This guy produced over a thousand yards at wr two years in a row at the college level. His stats are better than Tyreek Hills were coming out of college. I do believe they need to get him in the weight room to add about 15 pounds of muscle. Marquis Hollywood Brown is slight and he has been productive in the NFL. It all really depends on how they use him and how much they use him. The blueprint is out there now on how to use this type of guy. KC created it. Back when we tried to implement smaller guys in the past we had no creativity with it and no blueprint to follow. So really I feel this guys success will be more about the Steelers and less about this guy. The talent is there we just need to use it right.

    Those routes mind you were against the likes of the following;


    Martin Emerson

    Sauce Gardner




    One of those CBs is with an AFC Noth adversary. The other is a Top 5 Overall pick.
