Everyone is talking up Stills, but I thought Toon outplayed him

The one thing I remember about Stills at OU was he occasionally dropped balls. I hope it is something he can fix, because he did show great potential, but I was much more impressed by Toon.

Toon had great hands, catches over the middle, and has deceptive quickness after the catch.

It is going to be very tough having to make the decisions on who to keep because Tanner and Parker looked great also.

Colston
Moore
Toon
Stills
Parker
Tanner
Breaston
Roby

How many do we keep?

Well, Colston and Moore are locks, Stills is going to get in, they'll keep Roby and Breaston because they both are also good on special teams, so that leaves Tanner,Parker and Toon. I think Parker and Toon get in over Tanner. So 7.

Toon definitely outplayed him.

Stills, Toon, Colston and Moore are all locks.

As good as Toon looked last night, finding a WR3 to be the deep threat in Payton's system has become priority #1 ever since Morgan was lost for the season.

Every wr gets the occasional drop. It's really a moot point between the two bc they both will make the team

Toon looked very good and will be on the active roster. I would also assume he has the potential to help with blocking in the run game due to his size.

Don't forget that Stills played with the first team offense and was basically the "speed" receiver. Nick Toon is Colston's immediate backup in that they play pretty much the same way and Payton can use Toon the same way he would use Colston.

Point is: they both make the team because they are not the same kind of receiver.

That being said, Toon looked really good in his catches and runs after catch. Stills missed the one long pass, his first as a pro player, so he gets a pass.
