The Buckeyes were more run-oriented that season with JT Barrett (371 passes compared to Haskins 533 in 2018).
I don't get the comment about hands at all either. Campbell dropped 5 passes in 2018 with 90 catches. He has good hands. Someone say in a scouting report he dropped passes and he has shitty hands? Because that's the only way any person would ever make a comment like that about Campbell's hands. The tape simply says otherwise.
Look, I get the SEC love around here. I just think KC made a massive reach on far less production and less physical gifts. Campbell is almost 2 inches taller 5'11-7/8" vs 5'10" 2/8", runs the same 4.31, has the same level agility (you want proof look at Campbell's 4.03 shuttle vs Hardman's 4.25), has a 40 inch vertical, and ran all the routes Hardman ran. And if you think he isn't explosive, he finished 2nd in the FBS in yards after catch in 2018 with 809 yards. He makes big plays from short passes in the same fashion Tyreek has and he can take the top off deep. He would have been perfect in this offense.
I like Hardman, don't get me wrong. I just think he wasn't quite the same tier of receiver as Campbell and it really brought me to question Veach a bit. I hope he proves me wrong and it isn't that Indy got a big-time player and we got played the fool.

I see your point, and I did want Campbell first, but this isn’t the hill you want to die on crow.
I get that you’ve watched this guy plenty, and I do expect him to be good with Luck, but I’m not arguing with the guy who (in large part) found insane value on offensive players such as DeSean Jackson, LeSean McCoy, Brent Celek, Brian Westbrook, Jeremy Maclin, Albert Wilson, Travis Kelce, Kareem Hunt and Tyreek Hill.
