A less physical Anquan Boldin with better hands and wiggle.

his hand strength is amazing, he can pick balls out of the air, he has great body awareness and can stretch or juke to get that 1st down. He will be a top 5 WR in his 3rd season. Not as elite as Fitz, or fast like Steve Smith, but will always work hard and make plays for us when we need him to.

I'll probably get shot for this, but....
He'll be like John Taylor when we get a #1 receiver.
I think he was a great college receiver. I did not see him creating good separation nor YAC/RAC last year, but hopefully, with an actual training camp under his belt, that will change this year and we can actually answer the question.

See: Awesome F*%&^ing TD vs. Arizona
Give him a TC and preseason and he's gonna be the money kind of WR.

It all depends upon how he drives himself (or what he wants to make of himself), Crabs is already a legit #1 on any team, but if he loses about 10 lbs during the off-season (to rack up more speed) he could be one of the most dominant nightmares within the NFL (of today).

The best WR we have had in a long time.

He reminds me of Cris Carter--one can only hope. Now if only we can find a Randy Moss....
