    People tripping out for nothing rn. This guy is a Moss kinda guy, gets over the top and catches on you. Marv is technically sound and the most natural route runner with the best release and he has two insane back to back seasons and he's also big but for his size he has really short arms(kind of takes away from his size and catch radius, he can obviously still get up there and nab the ball). Marvs tape doesn't show a 4.3 / 4.4 guy, he skipped every drill and there's a reason for that. BTJ lead the NCAA in Rec TDs, ran a 4.33, almost has 33 inch arms and almost 10 inch hands too. I think Marv is the safest of all receivers, he's got a big name and he's good at everything while being the most technical Route Runner but BTJ and Nabers have higher potential for sure.

      @killerjag Před 2 měsíci +2

      He had 11 reps on the bench. That was in the 19th percentile among WRs (as in 81% of WRs did more reps than him). They just read it wrong in the video.

      @@killerjag GOOD receivers don't need to care about Bench Press...that's not his game. If his existing set of physical tools - which are amazing - don't get it done for him....then a few more reps on the bench ain't gonna be a difference maker. NFL experience and good coaching PLUS just physically maturing from 21 to 25-28 is all this dude needs.

    I think BTJ has a high ceiling but tbh so much of his production came on fly routes and YAC

  • @KFBALL247
    @KFBALL247 Před 2 měsíci

    The problem is Thomas can only run 3 routes right now. And he’s not a good YAC guy, at least the physical aspect. He goes down really easy.
    MHJ is so much more complete…can run every route. Good speed, def not elite. And great in tight windows, great separator.

    • @Portuducks
      @Portuducks Před 3 měsíci

      IMO, he wasn't asked to do that at LSU when Nabers was there. Thomas was the home run and jump ball threat on the team. He's like a more competitive version of Quentin Johnson with some hints of Randy Moss.

      @@Portuducks I watched his film and saw him try to do it and he doesn’t. He has great physical attributes but to be good in the nfl he’s gonna need to be at least average with his routes and cuts. He has a great release and speed but he’s gonna need time to develop if he’s gonna be as good as sims is saying. I’d rather have lad or Adonai honestly.
