Wallace's Replacement

Seems he can take the top off. 6' 1. 195 not really small and being from a small school, maybe worth a 6th or 7th rounder just for the speed. With the right teamates and coaching could turn into a Mike Wallace type of player but if we do hopefully he will actually catch the balls thrown his way. I went to school and played ball at Mt. Union a few years before Garcon went there but went up for homecoming and he totally dominated d3 but he was able to adapt and Shorts III from Jacksonville both made the jump Id say they are worth more than their draft rounds.

 

Forgot the link sorry.

I heard about this, and 4.19 is incredibly fast. But the Vikings director of college scouting was there and timed the 40 as well. Apparently he is stating that Terrell Sinkfield did not break 4.3 in any of his 40 attempts. And that the timing of 4.19 is a miscalculation. Either way 4.3 is still very fast.

First of all, no he didn't run a 4.19

Second of all, why was he just average, when not even in D1?

 

Some just dont blow coaches away. Garcon for one just cause I am a alum but I am sure there are plenty others in the league right now that didnt have the Div 1 shot straight out of HS.

 

I would take a late round flyer on him ESPN is saying 4.19 also

 

I'd rather have a guy who runs great routes, has great hands and is clutch at thend end of game and on 3rd down. Speed is great, but the thing with Wallace it's his only weapn, Wallace can catch the long ball but horrible in most other aspects of the game. Terrible on 3rd down and would rarely show up a the end of game's when you needed a good drive to win.

 

I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment but I saw the list recently of like the top 20 combine 40 times... Almost all of the guys never lived up to their draft position. There were a lot that I had never even heard of.

 

Maybe he consistently outran "not even in D1" quarterback's arm . . . ?

Heck, Ben had a hard time getting the ball deep to Wallace their first year or two together.

 

Maybe... but I'm sorry I just have a hard time seeing it. If he's an UDFA sure why not, but I wouldn't spend a draft pick on him.

 

This portion of the scouting report from the article seems to set him apart from Wallace:
He also tracks the ball well and has the ability to jump over cornerbacks in close coverage.
