We have high hopes for, but don't really know anything about WR Jeff Webb. We've only seen him in limited action as a WR and as a potential game-breaker as a KO returner. Could he be another low-round sleeper of the Herm Edwards era that makes it way into the starting lineup and curses opposing defenses for years go come?
Who is this mysterious man of mystery? This guy who Herm's been high on for the past year, enough for a pick in the Draft and enough for Herm to be throwing his name out time and time again in press conferences.
I went to some scout websites to get the skinny on how Webb plays. Now, I wasn't able to find hardly any negatives about the guys because he hasn't played hardly at all. Everybody seems familiar with his abilities, though, so if this seems like this is an overly positive report card, that's why.
The skinny: Solid size & speed. Very agile.
Extremely confident in himself. Unshakeable faith in his own talent.
Good YAC, and can go the distance if he has some room. A pure gunner for sure.
Long arms, big hands, going to be great in the redzone on jump balls.
His truest usage is working the sidelines as a vertical gunner. It seems he was physically built for this purpose.
My opinion: I see nothing but positives about a young kid with a good physical set and a lot of confidence. I think this kid could make serious strides to the starting lineup by Week 8 if Kennison loses a step or Bowe struggles. If Webb and Bowe both pan out, they're perfect compliments for the next five to eight years for a solid-to-great WR attack.
