My man should have gone to Oregon to play QB in that system. Guy just wasn't a wide receiver. Ultimately though, he's got a job in the league and he wouldn't have been playing QB in the NFL regardless of where he played college ball.

I do wonder if he could have made it at RB. He reminds me of Denard Robinson who made the transition from college QB to WR to NFL runningback. Shep had some success when he was used at RB his freshman season, then they totally abandoned using him like that.

He just never seemed physical enough. When he got into any traffic, the play was dead. He wasn't going to go untouched on all his run plays.

If he did play RB, he would have had to be a D'Anthony Thomas type back. Lot of option, end around, jet sweep, wildcat, misdirection stuff. He still needed to learn how to catch the ball though. I think he would have been better as a scat back who caught passes and got the ball in space.
