I love Bowe(I compared him to T.O. before you, btw ), but I don't think he was even a better receiver than Clayton in college. He definitely wasn't a better football player.

Randle Slow

I would say RR, being that MC came in and played significantly as a true frosh without us having as many receivers as we do now. If RR really can come in and be a solid #3 with the talent we have here, then I would say he is destined to be better. Carl is right on though in that Clayton was so much more than a good receiver. Without him, who's to say the receivers behind him don't take blocking down field as seriously? He showed that being a hard-nosed football player coupled with talent can turn you into a 1st rounder.

Both were really highly touted coming out of HS. I think MC has/had more potential to be a great "college" player b/c of his talents on both sides of the ball coming out of HS (It was pretty clear that he was going to be a beast on STs from the beginning). I think RR has more "Pro" potential b/c he has higher end speed IMO.

I think Clayton's greatest attribute was his signing to play at LSU in the first place. The class of Clayton, Hill, Spears, Addai, etc... is the class that put LSU back on the map as a national power.
