Spring Preview: Wide receivers

    In your example, If he hasn't played WR since sophomore year, no, you can't. Especially compared with a kid who had 10 catches but got game reps all season his first NFL season, again, in your example.

    I just think you may be biased, just a guess. If you are, its ok, say it, but don't say you need to see more out of a player WHO ACTUALLY PLAYED, and give a favorable review/comparison of a player who has essentially been invisible in Blue and White. Its ridiculous to rationalize.

    There, I'm done.

    So ignoring the fact that we actually have film of Lewis playing WR that shows some of his unique qualities; let's use a real-life scenario.

    In about 6 weeks, Denard Robinson will be drafted by some team late as a WR. Let's say it's the Detroit Lions. You mean to tell me that a Michigan fan who has watched Denard Robinson while at Michigan can't make a more accurate comparison of him as a WR than Kris Durham?
    That this guy won't have enough info to make a hypothesis about Robinson as a WR, despite watching him as the focal point of his college team's offense for several years, compared to Durham simply because Durham has a whopping 8 receptions as a Detroit Lion?

    And there's no bias here. I have a good friend from PSU from his area and that's how I got to watch him play.

    Let's play the "who does he compare to" game. Not what type of career or success will a guy have, but who's the best comparable player based on size and skill sets.

    I'll start with Geno Lewis. I think based on size and athleticism, he compares favorably to a young Anquan Boldin, who at FSU and early in his NFL career was a big-bodied slot-type, underneath routes kind of guy who was also a terrific athlete. Not a burner, but enough speed and athleticism to go with his better-than-average size and strong hands.

    As long as we're dreaming - Geno Lewis = Michael Irvin. Big hands holds ball away from his body - not blazing speed

    I don't see that at all.....Especially since Felder is still around. Plus once Geno steps in....Williams' playing time will decrease IMO.

    Even money right now Williams end up with more catches than Geno next year.

    I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said.

    I think Williams is going to be a beast for us before he's done. Perfect skill set for this offense. Very fluid. His hands will continue to improve... "Move the chains" is what I think his nickname will be

    Never downvoted you.
    I only downvote new-era, spulv (same guy), or outside trolls no matter how much I ever disagree with anyone on here.

    Not impressed with Kenney. Plays like he's scared of contact.

    Seems stiff when he runs. Maybe he'll break out this year. But I don't see it.

    Agree. He looked 'scared of contact' on some of his KO returns. 98Lion has it right. Streaks and post routes to clear the out for the slot or RB. Situational.
