One list of the top ten WRs in NFL history. 

 

10. James Lofton - 6'3

9. Marvin Harrisson - 6'

8. Steve Largent - 5'11

7. Terrell Owens - 6'3

6. Lynn Swann - 6'

5. Michael Irvin - 6'2

4. Tim Brown - 6'

3. Randy Moss - 6'4

2. Don Hutson - 6'1

1. Jerry Rice - 6'2

 

Average of their heights: 6'1

 

Why would you want a receiver at or over the average height of the 10 best to ever play the game? 

I think all of us know football well enough that maybe only 4 of those guys would have been faster than Sammy.

 

Sometimes it isn't all about "frames" which is the new cool thing to bash a player about. Sometimes it isn't all about speed. Talent is a transcendent and intangible quality. There is no measuring stick for it but you can watch Sammy and tell that he is going to be a stud. I'm not saying he is going to be one of the best in history, I am just using that to prove the point that there is no reason he can't be. 

 

 

Also I am still waiting for an example of a QB that didn't make it in the NFL because people said his frame was too small? I am certainly pro Teddy and think the jags might have a shot at trading down now and getting him around 12. But doesn't excuse the fact that Sammy is clearly going to be a playmaker in the NFL and TMD is too agenda set to admit he backed himself into a corner.

 

Maybe qbs wouldn't under throw Sammy and make him slow down when he has already gotten behind the entire defense if we traded our the rest of our draft for Mallett? Right TMD? Him and Mett look more and more like clones now after that failed drug test. haha
