I'm more excited about Jones, Brown, and even the punter than Iosivas. What am I missing that's making more people post about him?
He is a big, dynamic athlete. I would say that he is the best athlete on the entire team. This excites people and makes him the prime candidate for "diamond in the rough" categorization.
Jones is undoubtedly a better receiver than Iosivas at this point, but Iosivas has a much higher ceiling, even if he is unlikely to reach it. To put it into further perspective, Iosivas had a higher RAS (Relative Athletic Score) than Randy Moss did at similar size. I'll use combine numbers here...
Iosivas
Height - 6'3
Weight - 205
Bench - 19 reps
40 yard dash - 4.43
20 yard split - 2.58
10 yard split - 1.52
Vertical Jump - 39 inches
Broad Jump - 10'08"
Shuttle - 4.12
Three Cone - 6.85
Moss
Height - 6'3.5
Weight - 194
Bench - N/A
40 yard dash - 4.38
20 yard split - 2.66
10 yard split - 1.52
Vertical Jump - 33 inches
Broad Jump - 9'9"
Shuttle - 4.17
Three Cone - 7.19
So, from a general athletic profile, Iosivas grades out as a better athlete than Moss did when he came into the league. He is slightly bigger, nearly just as fast, more explosive and he is quicker.
