1. Does he have untapped potential?

Yeah. I think he will get better but his ceiling is somewhat low


2. What player would you compare his Speed to in the NFL (just in general)?


Like Colston when he was young


3. Has he done a decent job in one on one coverage on the outside?


Not imo. He's had his moments though particularly in 2014 when AJ Green and M.Jones were out but since then not very impressive. He could've held onto the job at that point but I think drops did him in.


4. What kind of WR is he? a possession guy? a Speed guy?...what receiver style best fit him if you were to describe him?

He's a possession receiver.


5. Is he a good blocker and route runner or atleast decent at it?

He's good blocker but so-so route runner.

6. Amazing catching ability or just ok?

Just ok.

7. Last....Do you think he is capable of getting atleast 800 yards and 7 TDs as our number 2 WR?

I think that mark might be his ceiling. I'd be surprised if he got that though.

I appreciate your time! Its hard to really know what we are getting as there isn't a ton of tape on the guy and it doesn't seem like he got a ton of opportunity here judging by the stats. Anyways Im hoping Sanu does well as he will have plenty of opportunities when defenses double Julio, so I was just trying to get a feel on what kind of WR we have in Sanu since most are saying we overpaid for his services.

But this is what my falcons do...sign "potential guys" to big contracts. But its who the falcons wanted or I should say who Kyle Shanahan wanted so Im eager to see what happens.

At the least Sanu seems like a great person but if he doesn't live up to his contract my fellow falcon fans will start with the Roddy White comparisons.

1. Does he have untapped potential?
No
2. What player would you compare his Speed to in the NFL (just in general)?
Anquan Boldin. Or Michael Jenkins would be someone you would be familiar with
3. Has he done a decent job in one on one coverage on the outside?
Not really. His strength is finding holes in zones. He doesn't get separation at the catch point
4. What kind of WR is he? a possession guy? a Speed guy?...what receiver style best fit him if you were to describe him?
Versatile possesion guy. He can play anywhere on the field and you know his ability to have the occasional trick play
5. Is he a good blocker and route runner or atleast decent at it?
Yes
6. Amazing catching ability or just ok?
Has the ability for the great catch. Has also led the league in drop %
7. Last....Do you think he is capable of getting atleast 800 yards and 7 TDs as our number 2 WR?
If he balls out. The TD number is a bit high but he could get that yardage with help
