Quote:I do recall him dropping passes. He has bad route running, bad hands, small catching radius, and often times is slow to get his head around. He's an elite athlete playing receiver. He needs a few seasons to develop into more than a situational player.


Stephen Hill averaged almost 30 ypc. He wasn't and still isn't a good receiver. It's more than just cherry-picked stats.


I think Tavarres King is a good player comparison.

You can't be talking about this year. I swear I'm not making any of this up.

Quote:#2 Hands - Early is his career this was not the case at all. UM fans certainly remember two costly drops back at Soldier Field Vs Notre Dame back in 2012. But this past season I can not remember a single drop by Dorsett. He also made quite few difficult catches this past season.

Quote:Miami WR Phillip Dorsett debuted at No. 45 on NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah's board.


"Dorsett is an undersized wideout with rare burst and speed," Jeremiah wrote. "He defeats press coverage with his quickness and he quickly eats up cushion when cornerbacks play off coverage. He is an easy/fluid route runner and he explodes at the top of his stem. He tracks the ball naturally down the field and he doesn't shy away from balls in traffic. He has a couple extension drops, but his hands are solid. After the catch, he isn't very elusive or powerful, but if he gets a crease he can run away from everybody on the field. Overall, this player lacks ideal size and physicality, but he's a valuable weapon in the vertical passing game." Dorsett will run one of the fastest 40 times at the combine. He's hoping to break the 4.3 barrier. Doing so would put him in the Round 1 discussion.

He's not the perfect prospect but the talent is there. I'm sure Jerry Sullivan would have a blast molding him into a top notch WR.
