'football speed' always more important than timed speed. granted, that really comes into play with a corner, but rcvrs fit into it.I have always found the obsession with "speed" to be silly. Some guys run fast. Some guys catch the damned ball. Very few can do both. Given the choice between speed, and ability to catch the damned ball, I believe catching the damned ball is superior in importance to running fast. If the Fastest Receiver in the World does nothing but drop the damned ball, well...
not worried.Collin Johnson is returning. Not good
Loved Michael but he was the master of the push off.Michael Irvin wasn’t the fastest 40 guy but he got separation and ran away from defenders in route to long catches or scores. Emmitt Smith wasn’t a burner either, but was gone more often than not once he burst into the open. What I referring to is FB speed rather than a straight line 4o time. Think that is a more important component. Reagor has both.
Excellent point...At the end of the day that’s what makes Bama and Clemson so special. They have been able to build depth like nobody has seen since the old cheating non-scholarship limit days..These situations are equalizers of sorts for programs like TCU that don’t quite get the number of elite recruits that other teams might. Obvious I know, but the big power programs lose guys almost every year and sometimes lots of them. And it’s getting more and more rampant it seems.
David Long, WVU is going pro.
WVU will take a step back next year and we have them at The Carter but this is a big loss on their defense.
Big for the rest of the Big 12
