I’ll state this. You can’t teach speed, but you can teach everything else. I’m not saying he’s going to work out, but if they can develop these young speedsters they have legit weapons.

Some have it and everyone else doesn't.

April 25, 20205 yr Guy kind of reminds me of Pinkston. And that's not a necessarily bad thing. Although Pinkston was pretty good at tracking the ball when contact wasn't eminent.

April 25, 20205 yr This is so stupid. All they care about is speed. I would have picked a receiver here that has great hands, is really really big and physical, is a great route runner, and also super fast. Oh and quick with the ability to beat press coverage. That's what I would have done.

April 25, 20205 yr speed wins...kc proved it. better than a guy with great hands who can't create separation because he's too slow.

April 25, 20205 yr Just now, PoconoDon said: Why not both? Yep, because the 6th round is just loaded with WR's who are both extremely fast and have great hands.

Was 1 in the top 3 rounds not enough? Just now, UK_EaglesFan89 said: He any good this Hightower? Looking like a special teamer development type with speed.

April 25, 20205 yr Excellent pick. This guy was a 4th round pick on most of the mocks I saw. I’d have been happy with him at #146
