UDFA Damiere Byrd - WR - South Carolina

Although he is only 5'9 and 173, Byrd stood out to me today and not just in contrast to Funchess....

Byrd showed greats hands...

But more importantly he showed another gear that no one else on the field showed this morning. This kid has quicks and could be a sleeper. Haven't seen anyone that quick out there in quite a while.

 

The WR spot is pretty full on the roster but it may be worth keeping a player like him around on the PS and see what he becomes.

So is it safe to say he is as fast or faster than Cory Brown and Ginn?

I don't know about fast, but the kid goes from 0-60 quicker.

 

 

Would like to see him return punts.

 

Yes. Yes. Yes!  I know its early... how many WR do you think make the roster this year. The amount of competition we have tells me we can be deep and versatile.

He ran a 4.28 on grass (I know that's been beaten to death).

 

Ginn ran a 4.28

Brown ran a 4.51 at the combine.

 

According to reports, there was a pretty significant tailwind at the South Carolina pro day which probably counteracted the fact that it was on grass.

Long time reader...seldom poster here. Byrd's special team work at USC was on defense. He ran down everyone who would have taken it to the house. So think of him more along the lines of a defensive special teams guy.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
