Ryne Robinson Vs Joe Adams?

[Gabeking]

I'm asking this out of pure curiosity, how were they regarded as returners coming out of college? How are they different exactly? Is adams a better player coming out of college compared to robinson? Im asking simply because i am not quite aware of how robinson was regarded Coming out of college compared to adams and i just hope Adams doesn't become another Robinson cuz I'm really excited about Adams. Thanks to whoever responds!

Ryne wasn't as quick as Adams

Ryne wasn't a downfield threat

Ryne didn't play in the strongest conference in the nation

Ryne wasn't known as a great kick returner

[SuperMan]

Robinson couldn't hold Adams jock in the Punt return department.

Ryne had great straight line speed he never recovered after his injury, and didn't have butter fingers.

Other than that Adams is a better prospect.

And nobody knows how good of a returner Adams will be. We all hope and expect him to be a very good return man, but we wont know for 100% till he steps foot on an NFL field.

Adams is far better I'm really sure why we ever drafted Robinson to begin with.

robinson had 13.9 ypr and 7 TDs (121 returns)

adams had 15.8 and 5 (36 returns)

Robinson was a very good return man....but played in a weak conference and most of his claim to fame as a returner was in large part due to playing 4 years. You can climb the record books if you play 4 years.....very few guys play 4 anymore

Can't really compare across conferences, especially that big of a disparity.

Joe Adams measurables- 5'11", 179 lbs, 4.55 40, 3 cone-7.09, 20 yard shuttle- 4.18, vertical- 38, broad jump- 123 "

Arkansas- college stats- 164 receptions, 2410 yards, 14.7 ypc, 17 Tds, Punts- 63, 570 yards, 9.19 ypr, 5 Tds Stats saying he average over 15 yards a return don't include fair catches.

Even accounting for the different competition level, Adams seems more explosive but Ryne was a more consistent receiver. Hopefully Adams doesn't have any serious injuries but being smaller may be an issue. Durability can be a concern.
