I'd acredit that to his good but not great speed and or route running ability's. What Kearse does specialize in, is body positioning and concentration, which is why you see him making the contested catches. Guys with his skill set are usually great at winning one one match-ups as Kearse is.

Great strength and body positioning. Only drawback I've noticed about Kearse is he has a bad habit of being a body catcher. He's got strong hands when he uses them but he often reverts to body catches. The primary reason IMO why he's stuck behind ADB on the depth chart.

Best part of the whole clip?

The ONLY, I repeat ONLY play that showed the coach's reaction afterwards?

Catch against SF in end zone

GREAT

I still can't believe that blocked punt was ruled a safety.

Like the music.

Kearse was good at getting open at UW, it's interesting how he's transitioned into being kind of an Anquan Boldin category receiver in the NFL who excels at making contested catches. Wilson hates making risky throws, unless he's targeting Kearse.

Has there ever been a WR at any level who had drop issues while being paired with Russell Wilson (excluding players with small sample size)? Most catchable ball ever. The way a QB throws the ball has a huge impact on drop rates. Lasik helped Kearse but I think familiarity with Russell in year two helped more.

I like Kearse, and I don't want to completely diminish what he's accomplished. After all, he made those clutch catches, and you can't take that away from him.

But what I notice more out of those highlights are RW's accuracy and placement of the deep ball, which give Kearse the best (and only) chance to make the catch.

I think people overlook how RW elevates the play of our WR's. Which is why "pedestrian" and late round WRs are now signing long term contracts, (Tate,Baldwin), and making big plays in big games (Kearse, Lockette).

Gotta be honest I don't mind the body catches. He doesn't rely on them, but seems to use it when he's going up in traffic and catches it on his chest for ball security. I love his ability to adjust to the ball, and the fact that he's willing to lower the boom to get that extra yard. That pin-ball run in the Super Bowl blew my mind. 9/10 WRs would've gone down on one of those hits, happy to just have the first down. Love the effort. He's one big reason why I'm okay with losing Tate

IMO, Tate really wasn't that unique a talent, which is why he's pursuing a payday elsewhere. He wasn't particularly fast but he had a knack for making plays (once he got a hang of being an NFL player I.E. year 3). He did however have arguably the best hands on the team. ADB spells golden really well but seems shiftier and is more "clutch" than Tate. Kearse is the poor man's Tate but he's 3 inches taller. When he uses that length (using his hands like he did in the Carolina TD pass), he can be a monster.

how many ways were the Hawks screwed in Indy?

Two key things that will make Kearse a lot more valuable are his ability to catch the football even with defenders draped all over him, and his ability to step up and make huge plays in even bigger games. Two of the most incredible plays in that highlight reel happened in the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl. He is a lot like Tate, talent-wise, but his ability to step up when the game is on the line will separate him from Tate once things are all said and done.
