If he could develop hands like Juaun, he'd be lethal. That's a big "if" though. Lazy athletes don't last long in this league.

Same with TO and I agree that TO and Jauan are rare breed. Neyor went undrafted because he never showed grit and doesn't play when dinged up. But he's a cheap experiment.

it's not ALL like that for every players tho.. Cris Carter once told a story that his WR coach in Minnesota never believed in him and that he'll never see the field.. then those coaching staff got the axed and he went on to become a great player.. he once played against that coach and tried to shake CC's hand after the game and CC just ignored him..

there are players after players that never became a star because he was not given a chance...

Personally, I thought our very own QB (Cody Pickett) would have been a very good QB had Nolan given him a chance.. the kid never got a chance because we drafted Alex Smith and Nolan didn't want the world to see that he made a mistake w/Alex.

Pickett couldn't have been too good. After the 49ers traded him to Houston he was released. Later on the Raiders signed him and releeased him. He wasn't very accurate. As for Alex he was actually better than his numbers woud indicate. 3 differnet HCs, 7 different OCs and 17 different WRs during his 7 seasons in SF. Who could succeed in that mess? He played pretty well in KC.

There have been a number of players who were on their way up, then coaches or scheme change and their career falls off. Countless players have failed in pro sports because of scheme, coaching, and luck ... totally independent of their health or mentality.

Just think about a defense built on a read/react 3-4 with tight man corners and a traditional SS up, FS deep alignment ... then a wide 9 4-3 zone concept DC comes in. It's pretty easy to see how players careers can collapse in situations like that.

it's just too bad that we'll never know..

Had Cody been a 1st rounder vs Alex, a fair chance, I still believe the Cody would have been a better QB.

Something to work with....

Basically an athletic monster, but questions about football work ethic. Drops, poor/lazy blocking. He'll never see the field here if he doesn't change.

Truth!

You cant chase a vern at wr. Maybe at te, but not receiver. How does he rate relative to kendrick bourne.

Not to sour the buzz around the guy right now. I feel like every year we see 1-2 guys that get everyone excited because they stand out in shorts then flame out by the time the regular season roster is constructed.

I'll be overjoyed to see this kid develop but right now my expectations are very tampered. I don't even have him in the 53 atm.

I hope the kid proves me wrong.

They talked him up so much my expectations are TO but I'll settle for Julio Jones or Dez Bryant. 😆

I'll be impressed if he cracks the 53.

They'll do everything to give this kid a chance to make the roster with his elite physical measurables. If he makes it, we'll have added a new dimension to our offense that we've never had before.

I predict he was struggle with the playbook and maybe make the PS if he does great.

ALL they gotta do is give him 3 pattern at a time.. Let him get used to that so that he doesn't need to OVERTHINK what he's doing..

AJ GREEN all over again..

For grins, i found a survey of the 30 best undrafted free agents of all time. There were two WRs on the list:

• Wes Welker, most success with the Patriots
• Drew Pearson, Cowboy
