[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Part of ESPN insider... but football outsiders is legit

 

I'll list the top 5 of the list and their PROSPECT (ie, when they came out of college, not where they are now) comparisons, but not the descriptions of them (I don't know Igo's opinion on ESPN insider poo, so I'll tread lightly)

 

1. Amari Cooper

Pro comparisons- Marvin Harrison, AJ Green

 

2. Nelson Agholar

Pro comparisons- Terry Glenn, Ike Hilliard

 

3. Breshad Parriman

Pro comparisons- Kenny Britt, Darrel Jackson

 

4. Sammie Coats

Pro comparisons- Demaryious Thomas, Stephen Hill (lol)

 

5. Jaelen Strong

Pro comparisons- Michael Crabtree, Chris Chambers

Kenny Britt and Darrel Jackson?  I mean really, I would rather not be compared to a first round bust and a Journeyman receiver.  couldn't they find someone else to compare him to that has maybe a little higher of a ceiling.

He explicitly stated that it was a comparison to them as prospects, not what they ended up being.

If Sammie Coates is still there in the 2nd and we can get Cameron Erving or Erek Flowers in the 1st... sploosh

Promethean Forerunner has still not provided me one link where anyone said that Perriman lacks understanding of football, or his system at UCF.

Get a credible one if you can find one.

I don't understand the list. Any top 5 list would have to include White and Parker.

[top dawg]

Perriman has a lazy work ethic, weak route running, inconsistent hands and a limited understanding of his own system. The comparisons are spot on in my opinion. Kenny Britt had all the measurables and potential in the world too.

"Perriman demonstrated excellent chemistry with his quarterbacks. In his breakout season of 2013, Blake Bortles was under center for the Knights and Perriman built on his sophomore success and improved his production playing with Justin Holman his junior year."

Sure flies in the face of this false narrative you're espousing about Perriman's football IQ, smarts or whatever you want to call it.

He is no different than any other draftee who will have to be coached up in a particular system.

No Devin Smith?  If we're talking pure playmakers, I would think you have to include the best deep threat in college football.  I'd drop Coates for Smith.  They do pretty much the same thing, Smith just does it better.  You gotta put Kevin White on that list too.

Personally think Agholor's perfect comparison is Reggie Wayne tbh. 

[Squirrel]

Where's White?

Personally think Agholor's perfect comparison is Reggie Wayne tbh.

According to NFL Media's Charles Davis, USC wide receivers coach Tee Martin has told him that USC WR Nelson Agholor reminds him of a young Reggie Wayne.

"What I like about Agholor is he's a former running back out of high school who has trained himself to be a receiver while at USC," Davis said. "He's worked hard to become a technician." The analyst believes that Agholor himself could be a nice replacement for Wayne in Indy. Agholor, who caught 104 passes for 1,313 yards (12.6) and 12 scores in 2014, posted a 4.44 "unofficial" forty with a 1.53 10-yard split last week in Indianapolis. Mar 7 - 6:25 PM

Yep, their games are pretty similar. I've seen the Maclin comp too, but I think that fits Cooper better tbh.

Where's White?

7. Said his stats were a bit too low despite being a senior and on a team that throws a million passes
