Re: Aaron Ernest ... should we?
"SKEETS" Averaged 17.5 yards per reception during his short career.
Brandon Cooks, Sammy Watkins, TY Hilton, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown averaged less than "Skeets" last season! In fact in all of the NFL only 2 WR averaged more than 17.5 yards. 17.5 yards per catch is 17.5 yards. |

Much respect for him. He could have done well as a pro runner. A lot of heart but man...long road for him even getting a look.

There's been some good ones that made it in the NFL. Bullet Bob, Willie Gault, Cliff Branch. |

From what I read, they implemented the 5 yard contact rule to balance out the speed problem. Once they did, much harder being a one trick pony running go routes. |
