my guy is bruce ellington from south carolina. this guy is hugely athletic in the sense that he has great balance and poise when moving fast in any direction. the nfl will not be a big physical challenge to him; he's got the goods. HE WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE SEPARATION.
it will probably take him a good year to learn the ropes, but after that--watch out.
who's your guy...and why?
Bruce Ellington, I was going to say the same. Ryan Grant of Tulane as well, didn't have a great Combine but a silky smooth route runner with great hands. Beyond that, TJ Jones of Notre Dame who was highly productive and Mike Davis of Texas.
I swear if anyone says Jeff Janis I'm going to have to go choke a b***h, on this forum that guy has been brought up so much that he's overrated now.
