Nah, I don't see it. TO is about 15-20lbs bigger then Blackmon and between 2-3 inches taller. I also think in his prime, TO had quite a bit more speed. I think in TO's prime he may have been at a low 4.4 or high 4.3.
Blackmon will probably run a mid 4.4 at best. But I could be wrong. Blackmon does play physical and shows the ability to break tackles. Thought its a lot easier breaking tackles in college where CBs are 170lb scrubs then in the NFL, Crabs broke quite a few arm tackles in college (and still does).
But comparing Blackmon to one of the greatest physical freaks to play the game? No way.
