Quote:Green isnt just "slightly" faster. I dont care about a combine time Green pulled away from defenders in pads consistently and thats not the same for Evans. Also lolz on the jump ball idea as this is arguably Green's greatest attribute. He has made some of the most ridiclous circus catches ever seen in college and the NFL. He has that spooky it doesnt matter the angle or direction he can catch it thing and Evans simply doesnt.  

 

How does he have more "upside" if he wasnt on the same level as a prospect coming out?

 

You are dispresecting Megatron to say that about the 50/50 balls and Fitzgerald as well. Evans jump balls come after 6-7 seconds of play time where he has finally broken free of the DB and Manziel is scrambling making it tougher on the defense. Green and Megatron win 50/50s on designed plays and on post , comeback , slant, and dig routes not just fly routes like Evans. Its not close man.

 

If you say so, we will just have to agree to disagree. I think sometimes you guys get caught up with what these guys have gone on to do in the NFL and forget what they actually did in college....

 

Green and Megatron were not as good on 50/50 balls and jump balls as Evans was in college. I can show you 2 - 3 plays at least from pretty much each game last year where Evans is catching balls like that. Megatron and Green caught those type of passes on occasion. 

 

And please dont use Manziel as an excuse....I could also be that Johnny missed him on an initial read which forced him to run around for 6-7 seconds.....He is open a lot more than people think. We see what happens when he starts playing on Sunday.

 

Also just to throw it out there, he had 69 receptions and averaged 20 yards a catch.....its not like 1st round receiving talents are doing that every year. (I don't think anyone has done that with at least 60 catches since Roddy White and he played for UAB....)
