Nelson Agholor WR USC


gettlemanjack

Recommended Posts

he was born in Nigeria and moved to the US when he was 5. His father played high-level soccer in Nigeria

Agholor leaves USC (after only 3 years there) with a school record for punt return touchdowns and in the top eight of the program's career receiving list. He is the first receiver in USC's storied history to post back-to-back, 200-yard receiving games (@Wash St, vs Cal during 1st 2 weeks of Nov 2014). Not only had no USC receiver ever recorded more than one 200-yard receiving game in a season before Agholor recorded his second, but the school record for 200-yard receiving games is also just two. He was the only player in FBS to record back-to-back 200-yard receiving games this year and one of just seven since the 2004 season

out of high school, he was rated the #18/#31/#47 overall recruit in the nation by 247/Rivals/ESPN, and the:

#3 ATH (Oregon's Arik Armstead was #1)

#3 WR (Dorial Green-Beckham was #1, Amari Cooper #6)

#6 WR (Dorial Green-Beckham was #1, Amari Cooper #7)

now, many have him projected 1st-2nd R and he could possibly could fall to us at #58, as deep as this year's WR class is. Comes from a pro-style offense at USC

Draftbreakdown.com rates him a "Late First Round Value," writing: "Nelson Agholor displays wonderful NFL traits. Efficient with breaks and well versed in the route tree, Agholor can potentially step in and be significant contributor from Day 1 as a NFL receiver. Has the un-quantifiable "it" (factor)."

in a nice read on who he is as a person when he was 18, the Tampa Bay Times wrote: "Spend an hour or so with Agholor personally, and you find an articulate (high school) senior who looks you in the eye when he speaks, oozes politeness..."

Chip Patterson, CBSSports.com calls him "a rare and talented player"

Footballguys.com Matt Harmon @MattHarmon_BYB

-Feb 10: "Justin Hardy, DeVante Parker and Nelson Agholor are my 4-6 among WRs, currently. However, they are quite close, and may flip around as we go"

-Feb 12: "An argument can be made that Nelson Agholor is one of the four best WR prospects in this year's draft. He keeps winning me over."

-Feb 15: "This is definitely another good WR class."

Ian Wharton @ NFLFilmStudy Feb 10

I've seen some compare Amari Cooper to Reggie Wayne, but I

see Nelson Agholor more like Wayne, and Cooper more like

Emmanuel Sanders

Editor of PatsPulpit.com Rich Hill @PP_Rich_Hill

Teams that liked Golden Tate and Emmanuel Sanders will

really like Nelson Agholor

Former CFB WR Jeff-LJ-Lloyd @ Jeff_LJ_Lloyd

The more I watch of Nelson Agholor the more I want clarify

his quickness of the snap as elite

NFL Associate Editor of B/R Ian Kenyon @ IanKenyonNFL

I wonder if Green Bay ends up looking at a guy like Nelson

Agholor in the 2nd rd as a Cobb replacement.

Definitely wouldn't mind drafting him with our 2nd.

Agholor is on my short list of guys past round 1 I'd have absolutely no problem with drafting

Note that had Agholor stayed his senior year, he'd have likely been the #1 overall WR taken in the 2016 Draft. If you take out Amari Cooper and the seniors, these are your top returning WRs in the Power 5 conferences next year:

compare to what Rotoworld wrote today about Cobb (who GB drafted #64 overall):

"Cobb's demands (for a $9M/yr contract) could very well be met on the open market come March, as he's just 24 years old and uniquely explosive out of the slot."

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
