And, hey, a really deep wide receiver room, a lot of options.
They like to run the ball there, too.
But he averaged basically two and a half catches per game.
But the biggest kicker here for a guy that runs sub-4-3, and it is real functional speed, the acceleration, deceleration, it's all there, he never became a deep threat in the passing game.
He caught just three of his 64 targets were caught down the field.
Sorry, three of his catches were 20 plus yards down the field.
And that's a low number for the amount of catches that he had over the past couple of years.
And I just thought he never really got over the hump in college.
But I'll tell you what, that LSU passing game in particular, it was hard to scout because of Nussmeier's injury.
The dumpster fire of the program became under Brian Kelly.
So as much as you say, hey, fifth or sixth round grade, you can see a day two caliber tool set that is something the league is always looking for, and it's game-breaking speed.
He has it.
What did you think of the finish to the draft for the Bears?
They managed to get a pretty decent cornerback out of the mix in Malik Muhammad.
Keyshawn Elliott, I heard some people going out about him.
They liked him.
And obviously Jordan Vanderberg, a rugby player, was their jump into the defensive tackle room.
I loved the end of their draft.
I loved the end of the draft a lot more than the start of it.
And this is where I think, again, when you look at past draft classes and these draft classes that make a big impact for a long time and turn things around for a franchise, there's usually at least one or two guys, day three, that nobody saw coming that ends up being a big-time player.
