valuable info, glad to see he wants to show others.  You have to have knowledge to pass it on. 

For what it's worth, Kelvin (34.75) doesn't have a ton more wingspan than Devin (33.5), but d'amned if it isn't a game of inches.

Looks thicker to me. Maybe I just forgot how massive he is...

​Exact same height and weight as Cam. Getting bigger and taller has been our GM's focus past 3 years. Only players under 6 feet tall are the RBs and WR Ted Ginn.

That's just arm length, not wingspan.  His wingspan is probably at least 6" longer than Funchess.  Wingspan = fingertips to fingertips so it includes both armlength and shoulder width.

​Add Philly Brown, Damiere Byrd, DeAndre Pressley, Mike Brown, and Kurt Coleman to that list, you're a few short* (see what I did there)

​Thanx for Coleman forgot him. Now Corey Brown I had at 6 feet last year. Did he shrink an inch this off-season? The other 3 I left off as not having a strong chance to make the final 53.

​fair point.  They don't measure that, that I'm aware, in the NFL (or at least the media doesn't report it).

      Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.

      And you would've probably said the same thing about a lot of highly drafted WRs who busted.
