Love him for what?  His hair?  Or overall Swag?  

I still don't get the appeal and why people LOVE him so much?  Not you, but in general?  So he's not a D Bag....He's not a jerk.....There are tons of average to below average NFL players who are good guys and not D bags.  What makes him so special?  What makes him have all of those intangibles that people love to go to when defending his play?  Without any proof?  

I heard Reno Mahe was a great guy.  Really down to earth too.  Worked as a host at Chickie & Pete's.  Dude was a man of the people.

Lol and here's Reagors pre-draft:

Strengths:

Elite speed

Extremely fast

Rare speed and explosiveness

Play-maker

Home run hitter

Forces teams to keep a safety deep

Impacts game plans

Quick release off of the line

First-step quickness

Stretches the defense

Explosive out of cuts

Threat to score on any touch

Sudden out of breaks

Creates separation with his pure speed

Can defeat double teams

Good athleticism

Position himself well to make catches

Dangerous returner on special teams

Potential to be one of the most potent speed receivers in the NFL

 

Weaknesses:

Shorter than ideal

Needs a lot of coaching on route running

Can have minor bouts of drops

Not a big catch radius

Not a receiver to win 50-50 passes

 

Summary: Reagor was one of the most dangerous receivers in college football over the past three years. In 2017 as a sophomore, he showed the ability to put points on the board, scoring eight times in only 33 catches for 576 yards and eight scores. He was even better in 2018, making 72 receptions for 1,061 yards with nine touchdowns.

In 2019, Reagor notched 43 catches for 611 yards and five touchdowns while also providing big plays as a punt returner. He burned cornerbacks and got open deep downfield for long touchdown receptions, but TCU's terrible quarterback play missed him constantly. With a competent quarterback, Reagor would be have had a massive season with a lot of long touchdowns.

Reagor is a speed demon who is a true home run hitter with mismatch speed. The ultra fast wideout can take the top off of a defense and is a threat to score anytime he touches the ball, similar to DeSean Jackson, Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown or Will Fuller. Reagor uses his speed to create separation and shows a nice ability to track the ball downfield. For a speed receiver who lacks size, he looks comfortable with defenders around him and does not seem to get afraid of hits coming his direction. Even though Reagor isn't a big receiver, he does a nice job of positioning himself to make contested catches.

Team sources say Reagor has no clue how to run a route and will need to be coached up on that. He has above average hands for a smaller speed receiver, but drops passes once in awhile. While being a dangerous receiver, Reagor also brings added value on special teams because he could be a dynamic returner in the NFL.

Reagor is worthy of being a late first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, but he probably will get selected in the second round. He could be a game-changing receiver as a pro.

 

 

So basically, his greatest attribute was his speed, which he then completely negated by adding 15 lbs pre combine. What an idiot. 

I think his issue is also something mental. He's not adjusting to criticism at all. I almost think drafting Smith and Smith being made the #1 might have messed with him too

Me too. And now Higgins is rotting on the vine in Cincinatti because Burrow ignores him in favor of his old teammate Chase and Uzomah and everyone but Tee.

Meanwhile the birds are overloaded with RBs. We should stick with Scott and Gainswell and TRADE SANDERS FOR TEE HIGGINS. Win-win for everyone.

Uh what? Higgins had a great year, why would Cincy want to do that when they have Mixon? 

Higgins posted 74 catches for 1091 yards and 6 TDs.

Well that's true too and I meant no offense to Ertz.  He's an all-time Eagle.

League sources say Hurts is not the personality made out to be, and they heard from some staff at Oklahoma who are happy to see Hurts leave the program. Behind the scenes, it sounds as though things weren't as smooth for him in the transition from Alabama to Oklahoma.

After Tua Tagovailoa took the starting job from Hurts at Alabama, Hurts transferred to Oklahoma for his senior year.

Should have been 4th, easily.  

 

He had proven he could play on the outside, his sophomore season... he did and did well, just not as ridiculously productive.    

BTW... Agholor supposedly had proved he could play outside in college prior to having been drafted.   whoops.  So, maybe knowing if a guy can or can't play inside or outside is about more than just where they lined up.

 

Water under the bridge now.  Eagles screwed up... at the WR position... like they normally do.

Freddie Mitchell?  Reggie Brown?  Kenny Jackson?  Long list of mistakes in the top 2 rounds of the draft.

Reggie brown was good for 3 seasons then just fell off a cliff🤷‍♂️

I never liked the Freddie Mitchell pick.

Was actually a big fan of Steve Smith who I'd watch every week at Utah, he dropped because of his height but I knew he played bigger than his size but knew he was also no where near eagles radar.

Mitchell was a bum,  Kenny Jackson uggg.even in 1990 they took 3 WRs Mike Bellamy in the 2nd went ahead of Fred Barnett and Calvin Williams.

Even reagors draft Quez is the only one if the 3 drafted worth a damn 

Watkins was one if my favorite WRs In that draft I was disappointed when they took hightower over him but excited when Quez was still on the board 

I think Watkins is 10× better with a QB who can get him the ball deep

A lot of recent former players are going into commentating. He'd probably do well because of the extra things he does at center. I imagine one of the networks will give him an offer

I know you didn't... I just shutter to think that anything even slightly out of alignment would ruin our ever so fragile house of cards that led to that moment!   .  Frankly, Kelce is a better player than Ertz... but different.  Ertz was always 'Mr. Reliable'.  You knew where he'd be every time...on time and on target.  Kelce flashes greater athleticism, but I think that also works for him much better with Mahomes and his freelancing style.   Ertz and Foles... in that SB, the Eagles had two huge moments... 4th and 1 on that drive, and the 3rd and goal for the TD.  Both were plays specifically chosen for Ertz because of his reliability.  He knew where to be and how to get there.  

 

I must protect the most fragile of moments in my sports fandom!

Not for nothing but what League sources does Walter Football have? His only job he has had that website and as an intern at the West Chester Daily.  He's not some NFL insider.

Well tee still had 1000 yards this year but yeah towards the end seems burrow kind of forgot about him 

Thing with tee is he has elite catch radius and big hands, the knock on him was he want athletic enough but watching the tape he always looked real quick In and out of his cuts for a taller guy 

I was in favor of eagles trading down and taking him but I knew they wanted a speed guy instead🤷‍♂️

Would have loved him on this team, his length and catch radius would have been great for  hurts who couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

Positives
Athletic signal caller who showed flashes of progress last season. Patient in the pocket, naturally looks off the safety and does not take unnecessary chances or risks. Senses the rush, steps up in the pocket to avoid defenders and takes off upfield when nothing else is available. Sets up screen passes well, spreads the ball around and uses all of his receivers.

Knows where his pass catchers are on the field. Remains poised under the rush, shows elusiveness and gets outside the pocket to buy as much time as necessary. Does not take off up the field unless it’s completely necessary. Effectively dumps the ball off to the underneath outlet when nothing else is available.

Throws with an over-the-top delivery, possesses a solid arm and can make all the throws. Creative ball carrier who shows the ability to make defenders miss when he takes off up the field.

Negatives
Late with throws and makes receivers wait for the ball. Makes wide-open receivers struggle to come away with the catch. Does not possess a rifle arm or the ability to drive deep throws. Gets wild with passes when he tries to put extra speed on them. Does not find the safety or players in the back seven. Releases the ball off his back foot on occasion, which results in adverse accuracy. Struggled throughout Senior Bowl week.

 

 

So if you believe THIS scouting report....then he's clearly REGRESSED in every area since being here. Which is it?

Okay, Pauline wrote this.  What has Hurts improved and eliminated as a weakness from what is listed below?
