I had no idea our receiver corps was so young.

That's awesome.

Won't matter if Brees doesn't have time to throw the ball.

Oh wow. I mean I knew we were young and no one was likely to be over 25, but to draft a 23 year old receiver and have him be the oldest player is insane.

So out of all of our skill position players on offense who is the oldest? Hooman? Hightower?

Edit:
Hightower will be 30 and Spiller will be 29.

Crazy to have one skill position player on the whole roster at 30 and everyone else under, unless I missed someone.

He said likely, but yeah now looking at it Coleman and Snead will be older.

Even if his math is off, the overall point about the youngness of this group stands. I really didn't know we were this young at this position

Oh yeah I'm not criticising, just pointing it out. It is still super impressively young.

And I actually looked at our whole roster and only 4 players are currently over 30: Brees, McCown, Scobee, and Strief.

That's two QBs, a K, and a T.

Super young everywhere else. I think safety is our oldest position on defense and it's not that old.

This is redundant. They aren't 3rd or 4rth round quality if they went undrafted.

How is he the oldest if he was born in 1993 and most of the people below him were born in 92?

Young impressive looking group, no doubt!

He went to like a military academy school because he didn't like his offers out of high school. Then when he got offered at tOSU he enrolled there. That's why he's older, but also why he's a great pick for us. He is physically and mentally more mature than most of of the other players in the draft. This guy is ready to roll

Receiving corps for the future. I'm cool with it, especially as talented as they are. Only going up from here out with them.
