need other WR out there.

Not for me. He did well with either one of'em. Hell he even got Cardell a Heisman consideration and into the pros. It's not often a WR can do that for his QB9s).

Although he was underutilized for the promise that he showed, right?

OK... I'll say it... what everybody is now thinking. He's going to give Jerry Rice a run for his money... maybe even surpass him, barring any injury. :bng:

I wasn't thinking that ... but now I am. He does have huge talent. He is more dynamic and physical than Colston was as a rookie. Hell, as Colston was even later. And Colston was our all-time leader as a WR. The sky is the limit for nephew of ''Just Give Me the Damn Ball!''

Yes and no. Part of that was on him. He showed up being Keyshawn Johnson's nephew thinking he had it made. He screwed around flunking classes and not studying the playbook. Finally Urban had to humble him and set him on the bench for a year. He learned his lesson. He was finally used well his final two seasons with the Bucks.

He led the team his sophomore year in spite of being the number two man on the other side of Devon Smith. (Why aren't you hearing about him? He was drafted by the J-E-T-S Jets, 'tough said.) In his junior year, he led the team in receiving again in spite of tOSU having lost their offensive coordinator to Houston and replacing him with some inept hack how pretty much wasted all of the offensive talent Ohio State had that year.

Anyone who watched what he did to first Bama then to the Ducks (although most folks were watching Jones and giving him the credit) in the college playoffs should've known right there what a "catch" he was gonna be.

I know some folks around here were discouraged by his pick at the time, but I stood up and cheered.

I snagged him for free in FF. I also got Pryor. My first year playing last year. Not to shabby IMO.

Honestly, I didn't expect MT to have such an impact this early.

Nice to have a pleasant surprise from a draft pick, huh?

That's overstepping it a bit. He'll need to do some of the things we are expecting Ginn Jr to do and what Cooks did.
