Seeing how many HS receivers end up playing DB in college, I tend to think that the hands thing come into play.

Why would any team, at any level take a receiver with great catching ability, and put him on the opposite side of the ball?  The answer to me is simple, he has the speed and athleticism, knows what a receiver is supposed to do, just does not catch the ball as well as he should.
