The worry at the time was that he might be a big, strong, all go routes and deep stuff only guy. Not a huge route tree. Not a lot of cutting or selling routes and mostly straight line stuff. A very limited number of things he could do. And that's not entirely untrue.
I think Reid would take Marvin Harrison/Jerry Rice skill set any day over David Boston, Randy Moss, or the bigger and less agile guys.
