Quote:His combine numbers weren't quite as good (although still very impressive) particularly his 40 time which was 4.60 at the combine. NFL teams didn't think he was fast/quick enough to be a #1 threat in the NFL and just saw him as a good possession receiver, which he is proving them wrong. He might have just had an off day at the combine. It's still weird because statistically he put up even better numbers than Julio Jones did in his junior year. Maybe if A-Rob played in the SEC like Green and Jones he would have been a top 10 pick?


Also you have to remember how stacked that draft was at receiver. A lot of the teams that needed receivers had taken them already and the teams that passed on taking receivers were undervaluing the position. In another year, maybe even this past draft or the upcoming one, A-Rob may have been a first round pick.


First receiver to record 400 yards receiving and 4 TDs in the first 5 games of the season at age 22 since Randy Moss. Damn. All the statistical metrics love him too and project him as a star and number 1.
