UT has a solid record in putting out NFL receivers... barring a disastrous 40 time... Shipley will be one of those.
You also totally discounted the fact that he owns most Texas high school receiving records... that is no small feat.
So if Shipley runs a 4.49, you'll change your tune? I see him as a solid #2 in the NFL... are you not even giving him that?

Again, I'm not saying he can' t make the transition, but I dont' see him as a likely project. He's 2 years older than most guys, he's behind the curve on learning a pro offense, and he's not a very big guy.
He'll never be a #2 receiver...he's too short and too slow. I wouldn't be surprised if he runs a 4.49, but that's nothing to get excited about. That's marginal speed for an NFL WR. He doesn't have Dwayne Bowe's body type or Fitzgerald's leaping ability. He's a slot receiver if it all works out for him. I see him as a poor man's Brandon Stokley if he works out. He profiles much more as a 3/4, but not a #2. He's not gonna be able to get deep, IMO, and he's not that big.
