People only need to look to Tarheels OC Phil Longo. Look at his WR's in recent drafts - a lot of them had this same "criticism" about being a deep ball-only guy and they overcame it big time. Just look at DJ Metcalf and AJ Brown.
Longo is a Mike Leach disciple but there's a fundamental thing about his offense that bears discussing:
Longo's offense puts an emphasis on simplifying the QB position by moving some responsibility to other spots - namely WIDE RECEIVER.
All WR's in Longo's offense are required to learn every coverage. They rely on pre-snap reads to determine the best available routes and run A LOT of option routes depending on defensive alignments and coverage.
After reading up on the subject, I am firmly convinced that Dyami Brown will be the latest 2nd round Longo-coached prospect that will exceed his draft day status.
