IMO Jr. will help our younger guys (Rashid & Olave).

TG Jr would drop perfect passes

from Brees however he did know how to use his world-class speed.

Shout out to LD Bell (Dennis) & co for bringing in former players to mentor & provide their NFL game experience & knowledge.

NFW... world class speed doesn't equate to better catch percentages, Larry Burton notwithstanding? Guess it also depends on the QB being able to drop into the bucket with receivers in stride and not fighting for catches in precarious positions.

Hines Ward volunteers his time every off-season up in Pitt (they draft solid WRs every year). I'm surprised we haven't seen a Cris Carter (THEE Ohio St) sighting yet.

I remember that off-season when our own Robert "Bobby" Meachem reached out to Steve Smith for tips on how to get better at his craft.

At this level of football, mentorship definitely helps

Devery Henderson would be cool. Similar to Ginn, he had super speed but Henderson seemed to figure out the eye-hand coordination/concentration issue halfway through his career.

It was amazing to watch when Devery figured it out.

He went from leading the league in drops in 2006 or 2007 I believe, to being one of our most sure handed and reliable receivers.

Just watch the Super Bowl, never mind his world class speed, Devery converted a bunch of key first downs which gave our offense momentum.
