This guy played with crap at the QB position his junior year. Was surprised he was still there in the 7th round. TT couldn't resist.
IMO he's better than Yancey. Will be interesting battle between these two rookies and Allison next year. Great size.
 
In part I mocked him because of measurables and in part because those LSU WR's in recent years have been better than their numbers. Like Dubz says, their QB play was pretty crappy this year and even the seasons before were not very good.

Hopefully him or Yancey can show something. They need to push the bottom of that group - Davis, Geronimo and Janis.
 
The more I watch the more I like this kid. If he can make a jump to NFL I can see him becoming an Arod favorite in the end zone. He seems to be the type of WR GB has lacked where the QB can just throw it up and this kid will go get it...
