I Remember Chris didn’t t even have Wilson or Olave in last years top 5. Not to knock him as I still love his analysis
These are the rankings we’re allowed to clown Chris on guys, not the qb ones lol
This has to be the most hilarious list I’ve ever seen😂
JSN was the best receiver on the Buckeye team in 2021 over both Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson. Jameson Williams transferred from Ohio State to Bama because he couldn’t break the Buckeye starting lineup. I think JSN will be awesome in the NFL. The scary part is the 2 top Buckeye receivers this year might be better than any of them in Marvin Harrison Jr and Emeka Egbuka.
Also, JSN’s official laser timed 40 was 4.48.
2nd best contract for Lamar 😅 how it’s worse than kylers offer
she missed a bleep on a FUCKIN lmao
Didn’t have Wilson or Olave in his top 5 and felt dumb I bet he will feel the same about Jordan A to
Here for all the Zay Flowers propaganda
"they are doing all the right things" PUBLICLY. Privately according to Lamar they have not
Two of the greatest players of all-time are Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith. Coming out both were considered "slow" prospects, but they both kept scoring long TDs in college. Football isn't played in a 40 time without pads on in a straight line.
The graphic from 2020 draft was completely incorrect and all over the place.
QJ has more Corey Davis in him than Tee Higgins in my opinion
Please go 5 to 1
Jalen Hyatt is the best wide out in this class
Yes you can smoke cigars 😅
Great podcast!!!@@
What about Cedric Tillman
Those who alcohol too much are not trustworthy. It’s true that kills off brain cells. Memory recall and confusion is part of that. Sometimes team/ conference bias seems to override good judgment on his part. As is a lot of sports media. Sec sec sec. So sad I’m glad I’m not a part of that.
hmm no mention about Andrei Iosivas? that would be simms' poor alec pierce.
Ahmed low key digging at Chris Simms Zach Wilson take lol
For someone who likes speed I’m pretty surprised to not see Jayden reed
Loopieloo.
DK still can't really run the route tree though
Some players haven’t don’t certain testing like the 40-yard dash which is why they may have a heptagon, octagon, or a nonagon. Some have more measurable because they performed more tests.
Cory Dillon was wearing ‘ankle weights’ when he played for the Patriots – that’s how you measure slowness.
Yeah, okay… you wanna talk speed, okay – this guy has six rockets up his ass, yeah.
Ummmm, yeah, okay…damn, like this guy is SPECIAL that way – like, yeah…a real weapon, okay!
