When I made my post above about shorter receivers that were able to play outside, I purposely left out Steve Smith, Antonio Brown, and Tyreek Hill.
They all have ridiculous ball skills and superior route running ability that are very rare talents. All of them have HOF careers in terms of production. I included some other very good WRs in my post for examples, but didnāt want to go as far as those 3 guys.
This, plus the blocking skills, really make it seem like this kid has the āwant-toā.
If thatās true, heās going into the perfect situation. ARSB is the pinnacle of the type of craftsmanship that Law will need to develop to be be a good pro. I donāt know if there is a better potential mentor/ role model in the league for him.
I hate that being an awesome blocker is resonating, but it is.
I like how his skills blend with our WR room. ARSB, JAMO, Teslaa, and Law have distinct skill sets but all bring something different.
I initially saw him as a special teams player. I still think that will be a part of his role, but I see him getting a limited number of snaps with the O.
He just has to play his way onto the team. I think he will.
Without reading reports or hearing anything about Law, I was immediately reminded of Deebo Samuel. Not sure he has the receiving chops, but his running style on jet sweeps and screens gives me those vibes
I knew nothing about this guy, so I watched some highlight videos. what jumped out to me is he can: get YAC, heās got juke moves, he can get by defenders with getting thin and moving, he seems to have reliable hands, He can go up and get the high ball, he can switch directions immediately, I think Goff is going to love this guy. I think weāre going to play him early, just hope he can stay healthy.
Fees like a baller pick to me. Underused in college. Can play multiple positions including lining up in the backfield. Special team player. Blocker. Underused playmaker.
Dortch depth, St. Brown depth, 3rd down passing back? Returner? Baller. Good football player.
I heard in the post pick interviews that BH saw him at Alabama, noting that he ājust moves differentlyā so he was pleasantly surprised when he popped up again while scouting Kentucky and realized it was a guy that already caught his eye once before.
I read that he is unique in that he doesnāt lose speed when changing direction like other WR do, he gets up to his top gear quicker, some would call it an āuncannyā ability to do certain WR things well. He knew we had a unicorn that we had to move up and get in round 5, I guess.
