AJ Brown, our next slot WR after Angry Doug?

[toffee]

AJ was the go to receiver of Ole Miss, a slot receiver extraordinaire. Didn't quite have elite straight line speed but more quick than fast and good at getting separations.

AJ is the 'smaller' dude, but he was the Ole Miss' #1 WR, that bigger and faster dude was #2 WR, or was it #3?

That's him on the left, correct?

LOVE LOVE LOVE this stat!



Trade back, trade back, trade back, and get a couple of these guys! And maybe, while your at it John...trade back. :2thumbs:

And what about Ryan Davis?

Holy crap AJ Brown! (link reposted from OPs post)

In three years at Ole Miss, Brown forced 50 missed tackles on 188 receptions, and it was that ability to run through tackles and cut away from players that helped him reach such lofty yardage totals. Between 2016 and 2018 he averaged 15.8 yards per reception, but a whopping 7.6 of those yards came after the catch.

Uhhh...dang...

After Metcalf’s injury in Week 7, Brown was moved to the outside, and over the final four games of the season, he saw just five snaps from the slot. Over those final four games, Brown racked up 511 yards which trailed only Oklahoma’s Marquise Brown and Massachusetts’ Andy Isabella.

So much for lacking speed to play outside? Brown may not be a burner, but his 40yards time is similar to Angry Doug's: AJ 4.49sec, AGB 4.48sec. AJ seems to be predicted as a late first rounder by most 'experts'.

And what about Ryan Davis?

Ryan at 5'9" and 175 lbs longevity issue?

Possibly, but if he causes missed tackles, maybe that's not such an issue?

May be not, Ryan is almost a Baldwin clone, except slower in straight line.

AJ would be great so would Parris Campbell i'd be happy with either one.

 

[naholmes]

I also like Deebo Samuel a lot and he’s right up there in forced missed tackles. Deebo and AJ are probably the two safest WRs in the draft who are ready to step in and contribute immediately.

 

[toffee]

AJ Brown or Parris Campbell, both could be available.

 

[HansGruber]

I want Deebo just cuz of all the cool memes we could make
