TigerHorn 1,351 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 From a free article elsewhere, first time I had seen the complete numbers: After a season-high six drops against Georgia, Auburn leads the SEC with 22, according to Pro Football Focus. The league’s second-worst team in that department, Mississippi State, has 15, and the Bulldogs have 67 more pass attempts on the season than Auburn. Auburn has already surpassed its drop total from all of last season (19), and is on pace to more than double it. 2 3 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, they revised down from 9 to 6 at the UGA game due to what is even moderately considered a difficult catch Edited October 14, 2021 by BigBlueWDE 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every great catch Sammy made he dropped one. He was a body catcher. Slayton was hardly ever thrown to. When he was at Bammer I marveled at Minkah Fitzpatrick- he was a great, instinctive defender but also had great ball skills with better hands than just about any receiver we had for years (don’t even get me started about the sick run of elite receivers they’ve had; Julio Jones had the worst hands of any of them during his college years and is liable to end up in the NFL HOF).

Has Darvin Adams been gone 10 years yet? Who was that little but cat quick walk-on we had for a while? He was kind of injury prone unfortunately. We had another guy that the media was always hyping for his catch radius, think he was fairly recent. Can't believe I can't recall his name......

Who caught 99.999% of passes behind the line while standing still with blockers and no route to run and no defender around. RDavis was another case of severe underdevelopment and misused and was a great talent, but let's not pretend his most catches is anything great or hard to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that is the walk on you are referring to. The guy in the second one IDK. We had D. Adams. Duke Williams was pretty solid Edited October 14, 2021 by Tigerpro2a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit- I went back and watch a few highlights from several different games and nearly every WR i saw had gloves on. D. Robertson. J. Johnson. S. Jackson. I didn't spend much time, but I believe the vast majority wear gloves. Edited October 14, 2021 by Tigerpro2a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPTiger 5,153 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 As TigerHorn alluded, Darvin Adams had the best hands that I can recall.... in the last 11 years. In our NC run, I remember numerous times where we would have 3rd and 8, and DA would run a 9 yard out. Cam could throw all out velocity, and DA always caught it with his hands. Emory Blake and Kodi were on that same team. None of the three had elite speed, but Blake and DA, in particular caught just about everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
