If he is all that is being claimed, do you think his coaches are THAT stupid? Those guys who saw him every single day and didn't think "yeah, this guy needs a dozen touches/gm"?
Or maybe, just maybe, this guy who we've seen nothing but highlights of and some callisthenic exercises isn't quite as good a football player as is being indicated?
I will bet ANYTHING that he's closer to Matt Jones than Randy Moss.
I'm not the one with the bad takes here, fellas. It's the glowing praise over his generational ceiling that's over the top. I'm saying an FCS receiver w/ less than 1,000 scrimmage yards might be worth consideration at the end of the 2nd round. That's DAMN high praise and an acknowledgement of his athleticism.
Meanwhile there are guys in this thread saying he has potential HoF skills.
Who's really overplaying their hands here?

I'd say you're the hyperbolic one; I'm looking at the kid as early as #50 but not advocating we take him in the first. I said if Veach does that, it means they've done their homework and he's THEIR GUY, and if that's so, so be it.
You're comparing him to McCluster and Todd what's his ****. Like that's just...insane. Not even remotely the same kind of athlete. Not even close.
He's a rare raw animal. Sky really is the limit. of course, he also might suck.
we can debate whether the risk is worth it, but I'm saying at #50 that's worth it to me. That's all. meanwhile, you want to take a run stuffing DT in the first round that projects as a decent nose tackle. So whatever.
