It was a privilege watching Boldin play each game that season.  It sure felt better than watching him in an opposing uniform in his NFL record setting debut performance as a rookie in a game that was a shootout.

It wouldn't surprise me if Laviska Shenault is a great football character version of Justin Blackmon.

Haha good memory D6, Boldin must've made an impression on you that day. I'd be ecstatic if Shenault had Boldin's career for sure.

Last night,  I watched a video in which Chris Spielman was providing his analysis on the Lions 2020 draft selections.

At around the 12:35 mark,  when discussing Wisconsin WR Quintez Cephus, who the Lions drafted in Round 5 ( pick # 166 ), Spielman mentioned Anquan Bolden as a comparison / type of player Cephus is.  The thought came to mind for me earlier yesterday, especially after our discussion here the other day about Laviska Shenault.

With all due respect to Quintez Cephus, who I believe the Lions got good to very good value based on when he was selected,  Laviska Shenault has more upside potential.  Cephus' ceiling is probably a # 2 WR. Shenault appears to have # 1 WR potential.
