- UGA WR Ladd McConkey has had to fight weak, race-based comparisons his entire college career and completely changed and destroyed those narratives with an outstanding CFL Scouting Combine performance that saw his comparison go from generic to spot-on by the end of his workouts! Check it out! #nflcombine
/ @topbillinsports - Sport
"Lazy ass, raced-based comparisons" = so spot on
They do it to White DBs as well
Ladd's a dude! Thank you for not buying into the race thing. You know, if the rest of America operated on the same principles as sports, we'd be so much better off as a society. Love your UGA stuff!
Nah for real! Ladd one of the coldest mfs in the draft. I do have bias as a UGA fan but they’re (the media) definitely trying to discredit him because he’s a white boy imo. Team that gets him is getting an absolute steal for sure. Please God let the falcons do it !
"God forbid the chiefs take him at 32" DJ called it
I think he said a personnel guy said that to him
Bro, exactly I get tired of people getting comped to dudes they just look like. You’re right that’s lazy analysis.
Big facts!!
You weren’t lying 😂 they comp him to some white dude at the beginning and his numbers are way better and at the end they comp him to Garret Wilson and the numbers are the same 😂
Lol facts! The second comp is the computer just spitting out a comp based on his numbers, which takes away human bias...
There are enough decent receivers in this draft to keep the NFL stocked up for years. Even the lowly Panthers could find a WR in this draft at #33. Great product dude. Keep up the quality content.
This was eye-opening for me! I was sleeping on Ladd!!
Definitely reminds me of a more athletic St Brown
Got to say, I love this combine spotlight type video. I wasn't able to watch it live so seeing it all put together for one player in one video was great. You should do more.
No thank you. It's free work. It's literally gathering clips from broadcast TV and giving them money. I'd do more if people paid me for my time.
I would love to see him slide to 55 and play for Miami.
The Garrett WIlson comparison for Ladd is awesome. Look about the same...I don't see how Ladd doesn't go in the 1st round tbh. KC will probably take him at 32 if he's still there
Been on the hype train since the beginning of studying this class. You’re 100% spot on about the lazy race based comparisons. If he was a black wr, he’d be getting more hype.
Ladd McConkey, Ricky Pearsall, Xavier Lagette, Roman Wilson, Jermaine Burton etc are guys i want for my Dolphins in the 2nd or 3rd rd
Don't forget about AD Mitchell!
Agree with all but burton
Couldn't help but notice Bo Nix drop a fuckin dime on dude's right shoulder.
My #1 QB
I graduated a few years after this kid from the same high school
Um, ok?! And you've told that to how many people?
Everyone in Ladd’s small hometown are extremely proud of his accomplishments and excited to see him do what we all know he’s capable of doing in the future. Ladd is a wonderful role model. (I find your comment rude and distasteful. )
@@spicaspunotti - Yawn. Get a life and a better education and learn what distasteful actually means because asking someone how many times have they posted this comment isn't that, genius.
@@TopBillinSports LMFAOOOOO BRO YOU'RE A CERTIFIED TOGGAF SHOW ME WHERE I POSTED MORE THAN THIS ONE TIME AHAHAHAHAHAHA DEAD ASS CHANNEL ANYWAYS
@@TopBillinSports Lmao!
Really appreciate these. Thanks.
Great breakdown Murph! Very, very fair and impartial review - your breakdown shows your professionalism.
Don't always agree with you but you're consistently one of the best voices on this issue in sports media.
Thanks, but you don't have to frame your comments to people with, "don't always agree with you," as that goes without saying. Nobody agrees with someone 100% of the time. We're not from the same walk of life and don't have the same personal experiences, so why would we? Even people of the same ilk don't agree with each other 100% of the time.
Great vid as always...and like you said in earlier comments, anyone who has watched Georgia play knows Ladd can play...
Brandin Cooks? For some reason I see some of him in Ladd. Could be wrong
Not a bad comp.
@@TopBillinSports especially how the Saints used him and the Texans
He is built sort of like Cooks..
If anyone hasn’t noticed, there a plenty of really good receivers in this draft and the chiefs are bound to get 1 and return to a super bowl
Possibly, but the Jets will have something to say about that next season, my man...
Ladd mcconkey is awesome
Bro would be nuts in Philly
Great minds think alike
Indeed. Philly thinking, ‘why mess with a good thing…”
Guarantee you he will be in the race for rookie of the year next season!!
McConkey should have been told to join the track team at UGA and that 4.39 would have been lower
AS A CHIEFS FAN AND GEORGIA FAN...I WANTED LADD MCCONKEY SO BAD!! 😭
If the Eagles don't come out of this Draft with a viable #3 that can step in on the outside when needed like this guy, they did it wrong. Give me him or Pretty Ricky is what they call him Pearsall. These WRs look good.
Great work!!..Go Dawgs!!@
Yooo I ain’t heard from you all season what happened brother? Missed your UGA content
Thanks, but the channel didn't go anywhere...
I hope my Bills don’t sleep on McConkey.
Definitely would be a great pick for you guys.
Carolina
Thanks Murph!
Another weapon for Stafford?
Interesting thought there.
If Chiefs get McConkey, Rashee Rice, and Hollywood Brown next season....sheesh
sizzling talent!
One of your best here. What do you think of Luke McCaffrey? My daughter is at Rice and Luke stood out when I saw him live.
One of my best what?
Video. What do you think of Luke? Similar player to Ladd and did all of his drills right before Ladd at the Combine.@@TopBillinSports
@@rockstarr9000 - One of my best videos when all I did was literally compile clips from TV? What are you talking about? I feel like you popped back up recently to troll or something. You be saying some strange stuff.
@@TopBillinSports I don’t have the time to troll you nor care.
I thought you hit the race issue head on which I applaud. While there are patterns, We should be looking at capabilities of individuals.
My question then, third time asking, what do you think of Luke who is a similar player.
I ask because I value your opinion. You study this stuff 10,000x more than I do or most. I may not agree with it, others may have a different take, but it is always worth considering. That is the value of a comments section.
It’s that simple. If you don’t want to give opinions or judge each poster for their motives, lack of relative intelligence, lack of background or experience or other, that is your call.
On Luke, you could say, “not even in the same ballpark for x, y and reason” Ok, that’s a point of view.
My man, I don't need comments section coaching from you. I replied to your reply, which I'm allowed to. I don't always need dissertations from people clicking on my videos, as if I'm soliciting advice like I don't have a vast amount experience in this business I've been in professionally for 11 years and was making a good living way before even this CZcams channel.
I found it strange that this generic video compilation would be thought of as one of my best when I didn't do anything but record clips and put them together. I've broached similar topics with Aidan Hutchinson, while doing a legit film dissection and others, too.
This video took no thought and was literally done for free as you can't run clips and not get Content ID claimed.
I like Luke McCaffrey. Very talented and versatile cat. I don't have as much time on task with him because I didn't cover his team or any game he was involved in. Some of these other dudes I have countless hours dedicated to watching them play organically by covering their team.
I do find it funny that when I do something on Ladd that people want to ask me about other white WRs like Pearsall and McCaffrey. If the subject was Xavier Worthy, they wouldn't come up.
As a Patriot fan hopefully we take him or any WR at the top of the 2nd round
Welcome to Tampa Ladd
I always thought he was similar to Devonta Smith
ngl he kinda plays like AB.
3:20 dude paused mid-air
Them race based comparisons be killing me! But ya Ladd that dude and is not to be played with
FAAACTS
He’s mixed
@@gavinscott10 - sportslulu.com/bulldogs-ladd-mcconkey-father-benji-mcconkey-was-a-qb No, he's not and doesn't even remotely look like it. Check out his parents in that article. You can't be serious SMH
Go Dawgs!!
Folks forget about Tim Dwight
Who cards? Why does he have to be mentioned? Because of his skin color? SMH
I would love for the Ravens to take him. Replace OBJ and prepare for Batemans departure.. also reunite with Todd Monken
Perfect fit!! But why does Bateman have to go anywhere, bro?
@TopBillinSports no proof, but i feel like the injuries, lack of consistent production and possibly shifting down the depth chart may scare him away to chase $ for some other team. I think Bateman, Zay and Ladd would be insane in Monkins spread offense and compliment eachother perfectly. I hope he stays healthy and with the ravens
Even crazier is he's faster than Brown with similar elite route running. Can't wait to watch him play in the NFL.
Bro, I see this guy and I’m thinking trips with Lockett Ladd and Jaxon on one side and dk one on one on the other, 💰.
Grubb as the oc with that!?
?? What? They don't run 10 personnel, man. You need a tight end in the game, bro. You guys just want everyone in Seattle even if it doesn't make sense. Jake Bobo can be the 4th WR out there when necessary
@@TopBillinSports
They aint gonna run 12 like they was, you could throw in some 10 0
1 or 20 it don’t matter but Grubb ain’t doing 12 half the time though.
It don’t make a lot of sense but bobo is ok, Lockett aging too
@@Chrishd1 - Yeah, but what about the rest of your team, man? You guys don't even have a second round pick. Bobo is "ok" when the draft rolls around and you want something new.
@@TopBillinSports
Yeah he’s a reach for us even if he falls to the third which he won’t, he don’t need to be a 4 definitely a 2
@@Chrishd1 - He wouldn't be a 2 in Seattle because DK and JSN are there. He would be a great addition for you guys, no doubt, but I think you're sleeping on what Bobo can bring with his frame and McConkey and JSN are very similar, Chris.
Don't say it, don't say it
So would Garrett Wilson have gone that high at Georgia?
Yes, he was a 5-star with a ton of publicity entering college and a ton of crazy ass talent. AJ Green went even higher than Wilson in his draft, so it's certainly possible.
If the chiefs go receiver instead of corner in the 1st rd and get Ladd and then sign either Evan's or Ridley, they'd go from the worst receiving core in the league, to the best. I think they've lacked at having size as their number 1 and sign Evans. But hey what do I know lol
The Comp Is Antonio Brown
People aren't ready for that, bro... That's a good comp when you break it down skill for skill.
I've watched him put the best in the SEC and college football on SKATES for three years. The way he runs routes and sets DBs up is right on par.
The Eagles could use this kid 😊 He can work the middle of the field 😮
Yep, he's one of my No. 1 targets for the Birds. If Olamide isn't resigned, he needs to be a priority!!!
Ladd is HIM
Lets goo chargers
⚡️⚡️⚡️
It is interesting that he had to fight racial stereotypes...
Bro just stop lmao
McConkey probably should have gone back to Georgia.. He will likely go in the third round this year because this draft class is just so deep; whereas if he stayed in school he might've been a first rounder next season.
Eh, he will ball out regardless.
Terrible take!! Was no need to come back..and this combine just put him in the first round
Unfortunately he had a couple of injuries. No point in him coming back & taking that risk. Plus he’ll be a late first, early second round guy
nope
3rd round? No way 😂
I never heard of him prior to the combine, were his stats at UGA impressive?
Ladd ran a 4.39. Dude is faster than what people think.
Uh, we know what he ran, bro, this video is literally about it
@@TopBillinSportsthink pearsall would have been a major steal also but not as much now after the senior bowl and combine tho with that crazy 42 vert and 6.64 3 cone and did real well at senior bowl and catch drills. Might have slid into the second if not third (third I think is still a steal tho) what do you think?
@@jamesnelson8469 - The white WR featured makes you mention another white WR? Literally people coming in here still talking about other white WRs. I have always liked Pearsall, though.
@@TopBillinSports that’s the literal topic. You are talking about a white receiver and how they are grouped together. I mentioned another one that I’ve seen the same thing on he gets the adamn theilen comparison. It’s not a far stretch?
LMMFAOOOOO. So, let me get this right. I make an entire topic about a white WR who is always getting grouped together with other white cats, and your thought was to literally then group him together with another white cat? That makes sense to you?!
If I said, "man all these weirdos be coming up in the gym not showering before," and the next time I saw you you told me you intentionally didn't shower for 3 days before coming to the gym because that was the topic we last talked about, how exactly would that conversation go?
SMH.
This stuff cracks me up. Because like.... do y'all think a guy can start for UGA, pull in 750 yds and 7 tds on one of the most dominant college football teams of the last 25 years, and be SLOW? Son. That doesn't happen 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What should crack you up is thinking you have to be fast to be a good WR. It absolutely does happen all around football and even happened at Georgia with Riley Ridley who ran a 4.58 yet had 45 receptions 590 yards and 9TDs. Jacob Wins had 45 catches 720 yards and 7 TDs for UGA, too, despite running a 4.53.
@@TopBillinSports uh. 4.58 and 4.53 are fast times. the combine average is 4.48. a dude running a legit electronic timed sub 4.6 is a fucking cheetah compared to an average person and can run fast enough to run with NFL players.
There are no "slow" NFL wide receivers. There are dudes who are "slow" compared to other NFL wide receivers. But that's about it.
?? Now, you're trying to save face. People aren't calling anyone slow compared to you and your friends, they are calling them slow in football terms, man, you know that. Running those times is the reason they went so low in the draft. Had they run a faster time, they would've gotten better evaluations.
@TopBillinSports all I was responding to was what I thought you were responding to - the idea that Ladd mcconkey was slow or that white receivers were slow. I have no idea why you're coming at me for agreeing but you do you.
@@catch40507 - No, if that's all you got from this video was talking about speed, then you completely missed the point. It's the overall package and having to be compared to other white players when there are better comps available that don't have to do with anything but race.
Very similar player to diontae johnson imo
I like that Comp!
McConkey:4.39!!!!!!!
?? Duh
@@TopBillinSports Glad to see that he is a deep threat white guys are always called POSSESSION WRs
Keenan Allen
Much better athlete
@ZachCoggins - That dude is clearly looking for attention and you gave it to him. SMH.
We all know that black folks are per capita faster. That said, we have some fast guys as well. Not as many per capita but we have them no doubt. We have the same for basketball and track. Facts are facts, no shame in saying it.
The fuck are you talking about? Take your Hillbilly ass on somewhere else, man. SMH
Keep dreaming if any of you think he's going to get drafted in the first round. He simply doesn't have that kind of production.
My man, where does it say in this video anything about where he may get drafted? Is your life that miserable? Stop making up stuff in your mind to have something to hate on. Shit is pitiful.
@TopBillinSports You'll be okay though.
@@jbjohnson4728 - Oh, I thought you were unintelligent, thank you for clearing it up and confirming it. SMH.
He could, he might be the safest pick in the draft IMO. He's a great rout runner, fast, and he has good hands. What more could you want? He'll be early second round at the latest. Also, I can't stand box score watchers like you. The box score only shows 20% of the story.
Someone please edit all of his college highlights to make him black. I’m tryna see something 👀
He’s actually mixed
Not trying to nitpick but when I look at him closely, he looks just like some of my cousins in the South. He looks bi-racial and could “pass”. Just saying
?? He's a white dude, man. What's your point?
You wish he was, huh? 😂 He's white, so get over it 😂😂
18 mph top speed no thanks bye
