I would agree with that... I mean Doucet is obviously a unique talent. We have guys who are faster, but not someone who can throw linebackers to the ground.
And in all honesty, the debate is not about athleticism. There are athletes at the WR position up and down the roster. The real issue is... does LSU have a "slot" receiver as the offense is currently run?

IMO, not many receivers are. Doucet got a bad rap coming out of college because he was overshadowed by Bowe and Davis, perhaps unfairly, and then got hurt for a good portion of his senior season when those two had moved on to the NFL. Then, he went and ran a slow time at the combine and his draft stock plummeted.
But Arizona saw Antoine Boldin, Jr., and that is truly what Doucet is (although I think he's a little shorter).
Doucet will end up playing on the edge somewhere, IMO. If he keeps playing like he is playing right now, Arizona will not be able to keep him and Boldin. He will be a primary or secondary receiver for some team, somewhere down the line.
ETA: Anquan Boldin

Hopefully we will see more utilization of our "slot" guys now that Gonzalez is working with our passing game. I'd love to see it.
