Alford has blazing speed and that is what is needed at the "X" position...be a vertical threat that the opposition must keep a safety back to account for.  I would think with his height that he might actually be a better fit at "X" than in the slot, and Andy does have a tendency to hit a little high....

I disagree with this statement.

In my mind, the X needs to be physical more than anything.

They split end is on the line from the get go, so they are starting off in contact and have to be able to get through it.

Think Anquan Boldin.
