You have now. The 6'-2" 202 lb former Syracuse WR had a recent tryout with the Bills, who are looking to replace DT Coleman on the 53 man roster.

 

He looks like an NFL WR to me. Tall, lean, fast, can high point the ball, tough to bring down in the open field.

 

Here are his 2016 highlights. he could be the guy that the Bills sign in the next few days.

Impressive highlights. Looks like he's got some speed to him as well.

 

He must really have some unimpressive lowlights as well to not have been drafted.

The best game ive ever seen from a WR was Etta Tawo against Pittsburgh. 13 catches 178 yards and 5TDs...

 

While that was a fantastic game for him, Pitt were 127th out of 128 teams in pass D last year. Worse than Texas Tech :D

4.49. Decent straight line speed, not a whole lot of lateral quickness. He didn't seem to have many open field moves, but showed some power. He did have a few drops from what I remember, but he also made some very tough grabs.

 

Cuse had him hand-timed at 4.35 at the Pro Day as well. He's no slouch. Figured he was probably around a 4.45 guy on the field.

 

Problem is that he's like a no-frills Corey Coleman. The Babers scheme is an off shoot of Art Briles so there's not a lot of tape out there of a diverse route running portfolio. Project guy but very intriguing.

That first catch was OBJ-like.

And did he seriously have 5 TD's in a game?

He doesnt have many. The guy was a flat out beast. He went undrafted only because he played in Dino Babers hurry up scheme. He runs what Art Briles ran at Baylor. Many scouts assumed that he was just a product of the scheme because he struggled to get on the field in Maryland. When he tranfered to Syracuse and went into Babers offense. Thats when he exploded.

Remember when Obi Melanfawu lit up the combine... Etta Tawo destroyed him when they played UCONN. 12 catches 270 yards and 2 TDs against one of the best DBs in the country. He played great against anybody who lined up across him

YES!!!!

 

I wanted the Bills to draft him in the 7th. He'd be a great addition. Thanks for the post. He faced the top corner of every ACC team last season and produced. Also faced the corner from UCONN and beat him. Def worth a PS spot if nothing else.

Were'nt those the 3 words that were said to Gort in the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still"?
