Not a lot being said about this kid. I think he has tayvon austin like ability all though I can see issues with him making the due to injuries. He could easily see time on the field on special teams. I like the idea of bring him into camp.

Might want to look again at the tape in canada. he was catching alot of passes some of them down the field deep. I think he's a utility type player. where ever u can get him on the field at.

 

Ah was just going off what he did at WVU.  If that is the case it only increases his value.

I don't think my house has the right outlets to watch Canadian tape. :(

I remember seeing his high school tape back in the day and thinking that he was going to be a future stud.  This is really the first time I've watched his tape since that point, and frankly, I'm not that impressed.

 

The highlights from the CFL show me a player that has speed and a little bit of vision, but neither are anything that puts him above any number of scrubs all over the NFL.  In particular, he was getting chased down nearly every time he managed to break through a hole...many times when he had open field ahead.  Considering this was against CFL level players, he should be dominating if he has any chance to make it in the NFL.  If anything, he just looks like an average CFL guy, and nothing better than what we could pick up from random Arena Football teams.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
