I can't see it. Ginn was very smooth, but in no way was he really elusive. He'd just catch it and outrun you with world class speed. He was largely a one-trick pony. No one was going to catch him. Concepcion is elusive and simply more explosive. That release off the line is wicked and he is just a savvier route runner and grittier overall. He didn't win the Paul Hornung award for nothing. 

Yeah. Not sure you watched Ginn in college. He’s got a better top end than KC for sure regarding the world class speed. He did Wildcat, Punt return, displayed plenty of elusiveness. May want to refresh the memory.

I see some Zay Flowers in him

Admittedly I did not. Just going by what I remember in a Panther uniform. I know that we're Panthers fans and appreciate Ginn's stay with us, but If we're being honest, Ginn was a bust. That's why he played for so many teams. And, I still say he wasn't as explosive or twitchy as Concepcion.

Nah. In college, Ted Ginn was twitchy, elusive and had world class speed. Like "they thought he would go to the olympics" speed.

I'd personally rather have Branch or Fields in later rounds

This reminds me of when we started hearing that XL would be the pick--I did not want it to be true--, and he told the media that the Panthers told him he would be their pick....Horn (SC), Ickey (NCSU), XL (SC), Concepcion (NCSU)---we do have our fishing holes. 

I like day 3 guy Kendrick Law, Kentucky.

Oh, he had world.class.speed, which I mentioned, but you appear to be correct about his twitchiness. After just a quick Google, apparently it was his inability to understand route concepts is what really led to his journeyman status in the league. Depending upon whom you look at, most say Concepcion has a good understanding of routes (but, of course, there's always room for growth). But, like Ginn, at least to this stage, Concepcion has had his fair share of drops.

Gin was also older by the time he got here. I remember him routing quite a few defenders, still.

I am going from memory, but I think XL had 14 drops his rookie year.  TMAC had 8 in 2025.  Often, these drops are drive killers. They have 1 job.  Coker, the most physically-limited WR we have, ha never dropped a pass. 22 games, 65 catches, 5 TDs, zero drops.

Then he went to New Orleans, I believe, and it seemed he caught everything.

Every free source I can find has XL at 7 drops his rookie year.

I am not trying to be mean, but Concepcion has a pretty severe stutter.  It is a serious problem.  But with XL on the roster, let's hope they never become captains.  the coin toss would take 30 minutes.  

 

OK, I am punishing myself by suspending all MHS posts for 2 hours.  I was wrong.

 

 

time for the rock to coach him up!!

He caught quite a bit here, too
