Court Jester Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) I believe we are a lot better off at wide receiver than at the finish of last year. Just watch some of this kids highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IHQvU8Ju88 Competition in camp is always good Edited June 8, 2018 by Badanswer
H2o Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 We're screwed. He and Tyrod wore the same number at VT. 1

Hopefully one of these late round guys develop into a starting WR. Edited June 8, 2018 by billspro 1

I like how he is able to fight and get the ball in some of those highlights. 1

FistingBot Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 As one of this board's two VT season ticket holders, I like Cam because he catches anything near him. He plays with the edge/attitude that I like from a WR. Very good RAC ability (a bit like a running back after catching the ball, he doesn't go down easily). He was injured the entire second half of this past season, which is surely why he wasn't drafted. My biggest question with Cam is straight line speed. He's not the biggest, not the fastest. So, can he beat NFL DBs? We shall see.... As an ACC guy, I do think he was a much better college receiver than Austin Proehl. Seems Proehl was drafted as a family favor, which annoys me. 3

Expand Thank you very much for that assessment...Cam looks determined and I love the RAC ability...seems hard to tackle.

Wayne Arnold Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 No chance. Slower than Tom Brady running in quick sand with a piano on his back.

FistingBot Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 On 6/8/2018 at 5:41 PM, Doc said: Why? Expand Ricky Proehl was on the staff at Carolina with Beane and McDermott. So drafting Austin Proehl seems to be based less on "trust the process" and more on family connections. I just didn't think Austin was very good at UNC. He barely caught any passes. If he didn't have an NFL father, no way he'd get drafted. In comparison Cam Phillips started all 4 years at VT and is the school's all-time leading receiver. Huge difference in productivity.

Expand Yeah but Proehl was the penultimate (2nd-to-last) pick of the NFL draft. If the Bills hadn't selected him, they probably would have signed him as an UDFA anyway. And if he turns out to be good...

Expand I don't know, he looked faster than that on tape. Still not the fastest, but he looked quick, which can help create separation. That 40 time might be a little misleading...
