His retorts were inaccurate and his argument, misguided. I called both Hastings and Oliver possession receivers and all of a sudden I'm comparing only to the other white receiver. However he agrees with another poster that Oliver's game could be comparable to another slow possession receiver. Also, the two receivers are not several inches apart. Hastings is actually faster than the other. Just to confirm that Oliver is indeed white though, he also could've joined the collegiate swim team as well. Is that racist, or is that justpointing out 95% of all collegiate swimmers are white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pasty white and 5'11", and I do have good hands, soooo I'm just sayin' But seriously, what's so funny about calling some of these kids "average athletes" is that they really aren't. An average athlete in D1 is an elite athlete in high school. The fastest WR on my high school team ran a 4.6 40, and he was blazing fast, compared to almost everyone that we played. I ran a sizzling 5.0 and was still faster than a lot of wide receivers that we played in Alabama 5A football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,096 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 No kidding. I've had the pleasure of playing other sports with future D1 football players and of playing pick up football with a number of D1 guys. They're almost all CRAZY athletes. The only guy I shared a field with that seemed mortal was a guy named Tee Milons (Freddie Milons' little brother if you remember Freddie at Bama). He was meh. He went on to have basically no impact at MSU. Still, he was fast as all get out. I'll also say Will Herring seemed like a mortal on a basketball court. He didn't have hops. He just fouled a lot.

autan 737 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I watched the video which I think was junior year highlights. Martin has all the moves and is very athletic. Not a world class sprinter but definitely looks faster than 4.65 pulling away from everyone. However I doubt many of the defenders were D-1 prospects either. But hard to argue with no. of catches and yards gained. And then coming back with even better numbers as a senior with a huge reputation and probably facing double or triple coverage. As we say kid appears to be a baller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, the yard measurement was based on the length of a Roman's forearm back then and called a cubit. Closer to 100 ft. than 100 yds today. Can we now argue about speed vs. quickness vs. football speed vs. crisp route running vs. pads vs. shorts vs. handtimed vs. electronic timed vs. laser timed vs. accurate height/weight reporting vs. what they get at the NFL combine? I need to keep my mouth shut more often. All I meant is that I'm not gonna get excited about an ~ 6 ft. 170 - 180 lb. WR playing HS ball in Iowa with a reported 4.65 forty time. Hell, he may be the next Dwight Clark or Chris Collinsworth for all I know (wait are they white too?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
