One thing I learned, however, is there's a lot more broken down tape than I even imagined.
Fun fact: This one scout showed me that when he scouts WRs, he dedicates a day to watching a full game and only writing down plays when he's not catching the ball or thrown the ball. How are his routes when he clearly won't get the ball? Will he block? Does he fake defenders and they respect his speed so they follow him instead of watching the play unfold? Does he slow down his routes as the play goes on? Does he use his hands in press coverage?
He showed me some notes on watching DaeSeawn Hamilton against Iowa. Brought up a whole new world.
Awesome Wolf. That tells a lot about a WR's effort that is for sure.
Funny how TO was such a great and he would cut off his routes all the time when the ball wasn't going his way.
I swear this guy destroyed nearly every team he went to. A cancer if there ever was one.
Kind of hard for me to call it greatness no matter how talented he was.
