2013 New Orleans Saints Rookie Review: Wide Receiver Kenny Stills

Stills was a 5th rounder and what most consider to be an absolute steal, I agree with general consensus, stills played awesome

Stills was a steal. The numbers say it all. And the whole catch with your hands thing is overrated. Just catch it.

Stills ceiling is a little higher than most feel. Not that I think he becomes amazingly better in 2014 than he was in 2013, but Payton will have something to game plan around and optimize his usage.

In 2013 he tied Meachem and lead the team in YPC @ 20. In YAC/reception (Yards after catch) he lead the team @ 6.1, Meachem 5.1, Graham 4.9, Colston 3.2..

Bottom line is that Stills is as productive as hell when thrown to, he has proven that of all of our receivers he gains the most yards after the catch.

For a 5th round pick he has did real well, being in this system another season he will only get more comfortable and better. Stills is hungry and thats a good thing.

I keep hearing that Stills doesn't have Morgan speed... Or that Morgan possesses great speed that no one else on the team has.

Can someone explain that interpretation? I must be reading the numbers wrong, but isn't lower faster?

K. Stills 4.32 40yd / 2.49 20yd
J. Morgan 4.4 40yd / 2.61 20 yd

I was guilty. I thought Stills had 4.5'ish speed until one of our esteemed members smacked me upside the head with that 4.32 stat.

He's fast.

It's not one source..... I've heard it multiple times from multiple sources. I commented once in the Morgan thread but it fell on deaf ears.

Fastest guy on the team with the least drops in 2013 his rookie season. That combination is very difficult to not find huge value and upside in.

Apparently not that difficult. A guy could score forty TDs in a season for us somebody here would criticize him for not being a good pass blocker or some stupid ****.

Like perhaps fumble twice in 3 years and be called a fumbler?

Well.... That's a smidge out of context. When Drew is getting killed repeatedly in the backfield everyone that doesn't block well becomes fair game. Also his run locking was lack luster in a year that we couldn't run for more than 1/2 the season.

More of a wrong place at the wrong time for Jimmy.
