Trey Quinn made a huge jump in the final rankings before NSD.

247 Sports - Up 11 - LINK

Look at the size and speed.

Trey Quinn
6'1", 200 LBS, 4.39 40 Time (Also broke the National Career Receiving yards record previously held by Missouri's DGB)

Jordy Nelson
6'3", 217 LBS, 4.51 40 Time

Not too many people have talked about this kid around here and I think he becomes a major asset on this roster within two years. He might even get his shot next season because we are going to need WR's to play on day one.

I compare him to Jordy Nelson because the one thing people talk about with him his how he was a world class sprinter in high school. This could be Quinn. He has the size and speed. In fact, he is faster than Jordy. He has played for Barbe for four years so we all know he has played against some big ole country boys and not soft teams.

Could be interesting to see what happens with him in the next few years but I predict he will end up being one of the bigger pickups of 2014.

Jordy Nelson grew in college and gained the 217 weight in the NFL. He was around 195 in HS

Nelson is huge. Quinn not so much.


Takes time to get to superstar weight for a NFL WR.

Two inches in height isn't a big deal when you are already 6'1" but gaining another 15 LBs of muscle this offseason is going to make Quinn a beast running 4.39 40's

Trey is 6'1 with a 32" vert. And the most prolific receiver in H.S. to date...I'll take Quinn.

They used Nelson as a RB at K-state soooo much fun to watch. I the the comparison is close with how they both can catch everything around them. It will fun to watch him develope.

I say one of the better comparisons to a current NFL player is Victor Cruz. Great route runner with the speed to burn you, because he is always in the right spot.

If you want to compare him to a white guy, his game is more like Welker. Jordy I think is more big and strong than Quinn, and those GB receivers rely on that go up and get it approach that I dont think suits TQ's game.

First of all, it is, as almost every CB in the league is 6'1" or shorter - those 2 inches matter.

And is it really a given that he will gain 15 lbs and keep that speed?

And you think within one month of NSD, that TQ hasn't been compared to every white NFL white receiver that has ever played by now?
