When you consistently reply on Jimmy Graham's height AND physical prowess, knowing you can drill it to him in a bad spot and he can muscle it out it becomes rhythmic.

Colston on the other hand can get air like Jimmy but isn't big enough to muscle it out and take the hits like Jimmy... I am not taking anything away from Colston at all but 6'7" 265 vs 6'4" 225 I give a one on one battle between the two to Jimmy all day.

Yeah but Jimmy is taking hits from mostly LB's whereas Colston takes his hits from CB's so I think I would prefer to be Colston.
