How was Puka so overlooked and was 5th rounder?

Look at his college stats and combine numbers. On that alone, surprising he even got drafted.

Similar to miles Austin. Dude was impossible to tackle.

how long are you gonna do this?

He’s not quick and he he drops a lot of passes. I’m still not sure if he’s even good.

Same way Marques Colston got over looked sometimes it’s all about falling into the right system. Puka feel into the right situation

Same reason Colston dropped to 7th rd. The NFL doesn’t run 40 times with pads at the combine.

no one wants to draft a dude named Puka

He’s tough and runs great routes, but he’s slow in the open field. I’m really curious how his career progresses because as soon as he loses a step, then I think he’s out of the league.

He’s a great player, but what makes him so successful will end up with him having a short career.

Colston didn't have a bad combine though.

Tom Brady (GOAT) was a 6th rounder.
Guess the combine ain’t everything.

Hogs couldn't stop him at all. 3 TD's and like 130-40 yards. I knew about him.

What’s your cut line on drop percentage when deciding whether a receiver sucks or not?

I would also add having great chemistry with your QB in understanding what the QB is expecting from you depending on the coverages, down/distance, route, blitz and blocking adjustments, etc.

Steve Largent had a HOF career being slow but running great routes.
