Jared Abbrederis

[austriancolt]

6'2 190 WR from Wisconsin. Any opinions on him? How is his route running? Guy looks fast reminds me of Anthony Gonzalez...

That's not a good reminder.

I hate to say this, but I really don't see Gonzalez apart from his skin color.

A solid, versatile and very reliable receiver. Has had some injuries though. I've always liked him as 4th or 5th round guy and quite possibly even later.

From a running offense so is probably an experienced blocker too. Never a bad thing.

Eh, I wouldn't like this pick so much. Every time I think of him, my first thought always goes to the MSU vs Wisco hail mary play where he jumped too early, which ultimately allowed MSU to catch the ball and win the game. Sure, I know I shouldn't judge a player based off one play..but that one play ruined my perception of Jared for some reason.

you base a WR off of a defensive play?  odd... If you didnt see him dominate Roby in the OSU game, I recommend going back to that game.

 

I am a massive Badger fan, he does tend to dominate a lot, but he also gets injured for a game here or there.  But he really is the only weapon for the Badgers passing offense, and teams know this.... and he still beats the defense a good chunk of the time due to his route running and deceptive speed. 

 

I am rather biased though....

The reason why I hated his defense so much is the fact that he anticipated the ball way too early. If I recall correctly, he was already coming down in his jump as the ball passed over him. So, with that said, if he can't time his jump correctly when he's in the right position, and the  ball is essentially a gimme pick/break-up...how do you expect him to go up for a jump ball against a nfl caliber DB (or when the ball is a little high)? Again, just to reiterate, I know I shouldn't judge a player based on a sole play...I typically hate when people judge someone off of a game, let alone a play...so I really don't understand why I'm doing this to Abbs. And, I'm am probably making this a bigger deal than it actually is); however, that play rubbed me the wrong way. I walked away from that game thinking that Abb has bad instincts. And regardless of how many games I see the kid play, I can't get that one play out of my mind. As for watching Wisco, I don't watch them all too often (usually only once-twice a year). Oh yeah, I may also be judging Abbs unfairly because he's a badger. I'm not too fond of Wisco mainly due to them losing 3 straight Rose Bowls . True, they were the best we had those 3 years (that were eligible), but comon' man you have to represent the B1G and win at least one in Pasadena!
