OK, digging for potential talent, I came upon Jasper Collins (WR).


top dawg

Recommended Posts

OK, I was a little bummed that we didn't draft T.Y. Hilton last year, but that hasn't stopped me from trying to root out that small college talent with great potential. Jasper Collins is probably a name few of us have heard, but dude was a beast last year in division III ball, gaining 1694 Yards last year.

One thing of note is that he is already being scouted by the pats:

Shorts briefed Collins for a recent meeting with Patriots wideouts coach Chad O’Shea, who flew to Stark County to conduct a private session.

He also returns kicks.

wth, rayzor? would you have said the same thing about cecil shorts, pierre garcon, or t.y. hilton (even though he was from a different school). you would have been scoffing at Victor Cruz also, right?

Collins is at least projected to be drafted in the mid to late rounds. I suppose it doesn't move you that he has been scouted by the likes of the Pats, among others? What in the world?

I love small school WR prospects - HUGE potential with very little risk - but what's with the "next Legatron" comparison?? That's not really reaching for much...

Why use Legatron in the title? He's a kicker. :/

This was a nickname huddlers gave to Legedu Naanee when he played here in 2011.

I'm entirely confused why he is mentioned in a thread about a WR prospect, since he is a mediocre receiver.

you called him the next legatron.

i don't know what to think.

So basically since the Patriots are scouting him he must be the next best thing?

I'm trying to recall all the great WR's the Pats have drafted lately, but strangely I'm drawing a blank.

Thats the truth, LOL. If the Patriots are looking at him we need to run like hell. They are just awful drafting receivers. They have gotten just about all their wide receiver talent in free agency.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
