I was wondering about comparing Flash to the Jet, so I looked it up: 40 and 100 yd 4.27 vs 4.43 10.09 to 10.38 and that is with HS coaching; got to think he can work on quickness and strength at Auburn. I am still excited we picked this cat up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling Jet will be a great blend of speed and physical play, as Shaun is, but as a receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've stuck with my first response, which was "Worm vs Jet would be more competitive than Jet vs Flash". I had seen somewhere that Worm had run a faster 55m than Jet but who knows with all the different ways in which that could be invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen his film to know how physical he is, but I'd rather him be more elusive like Schwartz, personally. I do feel like being 6'1 is going to help Johnson some, because that'll make him taller than most DBs, and didn't I see something about him having a great vertical leap? *Edit* Why are we talking about the speed guys on the Dylan Brooks thread?

bg5 536 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I kind of felt like this one might come back around to us anyway. I was surprised with the UT commit in the first place. Hope we are gaining ground!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to make it either/or, is there? Sammie Coates was both. Imagine a guy like that who can catch. We could name it a a Julio Jones or something.

Imagine a guy like that who can catch. We could name it a a Julio Jones or something. I don't remember Sammie being particularly elusive, just fast. It's not often you find a player who can be both, because the physicality usually brings size with it, which hinders elusiveness. I mean, yes, of course, I would prefer that the player be both, I just feel like it's mostly a trade off to be one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, though. It's interesting that we're talking about MJJ here and talking about roster management in the MJJ thread. Whatever. I'm just glad we're talking about crootin' and football stuff and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't remember his weight, but the counter to your comment is that at 6'1, 185, I doubt he's bulky enough to be particularly physical. I mean, yeah, he could be wiry and strong and able to still have an element of physicality to his game, but that would make him even more special (we can hope), and I still doubt he'd be known more for the physicality than the elusiveness. But, of course, we'll see. Hopefully you'll be right and he can be equally great at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that this guy is Sammy Watkins, but I thought to look him up for comparison as I remember him being roughly the same size. Gonna have to pat myself on the back here, as Watkins was 6'1 180 out of high school. First box is Sammy's recruiting profile. Second is his draft profile. Quote HIGH SCHOOL: All-time leading receiver in Lee County history with 133 catches for 2,997 yards and 36 scores in his career. ... Led South Fort Myers to an 11-1 record and the 3A state semifinals as a senior. ... Out of the "wildcat" formation, Watkins ran for 133 yards and three scores in six carries during a playoff game. ... Averaged 11.8 yards per carry in his career. ... Won his classification's 200-meter state track title as a senior and finished second in the 100. Took fifth in the 100 as a junior. ... Quote Strengths: Explosive play-maker Threat to score on any touch Game-breaking speed Forces teams to keep a safety deep Impacts game plans Intimidates defensive backs Quick release off of the line Rare first-step quickness Stretches the defense Phenomenal body control Good size Very strong; built extremely well Breaks tackles; gets yards after contact Quick feet Leaping ability Great route-runner; sudden out of breaks Quality hands Adept at finding soft spots in zone Regularly defeats double teams Passionate for the game Can run the ball out of the backfield Rare athleticism Physical blocker Durable, experienced 3-year starter Experienced, dominated good competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 @McLoofus and @ellitor Dylan Brooks running mile - Says in the school newspaper, he ran a 9:46 in 8th grade. That is the last known time he ran the mile. Were you guys really wanting to know his mile time or just poking fun at me? bwahahahaha sorry, rabbit holes get dug quickly sometimes.
