Football Outsiders 2015 playmaker (college WR rankings) scores


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
