That sucks, but that was some tough competition he was against.

it's pretty hard to be on that list. the three that are on it are also very deserving too.

pretty sad for odell though.

Unless there are some criteria that I am not aware of ...both Beckham AND Landry should be finalists.

I know all 3 WRs have more receiving yards than Odell but damn he deserves to be a finalist

I'd have probably put Jordan Matthews from Vandy over both ODB and Juice. that kid is Vandy's passing game, and is about to leave with a bunch of SEC records.

If they give the award for pushing off and being a whiny bitch, Evans wins hands down.

To me, Watkins is just really fast, he doesn't make the catches the OBJ or Landry do and he doesn't block the same way. The guy is only a deep threat. He doesn't do the little things. Overrated IMO.

I think it's stupid how they narrow these lists down during the season. It's like the 1st half of the season matters more than the 2nd half. The whole season isn't taken into account. Just dumb.

And it's stupidly about nothing but stats. We threw the ball 20 times Saturday, A&M threw it 41. OBJ probably get 8-10 targets a game whereas Mike Evans gets 15 targets.

If he dropped a few less deep passes he'd probably be a finalist.
