He doesn't need to prove anything to you or anyone else. -
I think Zach Hicks said it best, well, he could've clean it up a little bit -
Of course the speed is real unique in terms of him always being a top level separator. What I also like for him to be such a big dude is his feet. He's actually pretty nimble after the catch in small spaces. I thought he just played on the outside but I've seen LSU play him from the inside as well. Also see them throw him quick hitter, screen type passes that he makes extra yards out of. I think he has very good hands and he is good with his routes. I didn't dwell much on attacking the football because that can be taught if it's an issue. I've seen some say he doesn't always go all out every time but no prospect is perfect in college. If I had things to fix I don't see big holes in his game. Just few things I like but not exhaustive -
What do you mean back with a bang? PFF rated Hooker 77.3 and Blackmon 68.3 in 2023. Not a huge difference for a pick 15 and a pick 78? who had "injuries limiting their once all pro careers". LOL. But they did not play exactly the same roles. Hooker was ranked poorly in terms of most stats, while Blackmon pretty average. Example: Hooker was targeted only 10 times while allowing 8 receptions (ranked 90th). Blackmon was targeted 44 times allowing 31 receptions (ranked 18th) There are nuances with the stats though. Hooker had only 31 tackles for a 75th ranking while Blackmon had 72 tackles for a 17th ranking. Obviously, Hooker was asked to play FS like a goal keeper on a soccer team, which is about all he could ever do, while Blackmon probably had more different responsibilities. JMO. DeJean at 22 or later plus a 3rd round pick would give us probably a better all around FS/SS than either while picking up another player from a trade down. Not that I'm advocating it. Just one plausible event in a sea of fantasy drafting. Brian Thomas or Chop Robinson at 22 would be nice too, IMO. Or even a RT. -
Maybe his mannerisms, speech, and occasional (apparent) emotional public interjections (Saturday, comments about Daniel Snyder, etc.) play a part in public perception. A truly recovering addict would admit his contribution to public perception and would not lay it off onto bigots, as he is indirectly doing. He's probably not truly recovered and I would take anything he says about his issue as being a flat out lie until proven otherwise.
