RR is anything but a possession WR. People would see that more if he had the opportunities. He has first round ability and if he has a highly productive season this year, I can see him leaving early.



From what I have seen of Reuben, I wouldn't agree. I can see him easily becoming a first rounder, but not yet. He definitely isn't a speed receiver that fly's deep every time. He has proved he can go deep though as he did against us. However I dont get why you say it as being a possession receiver is a knock against him. As I said he reminds me alot of Boldin who is a big viewed as a tough grind it out possession receiver, but the dude has gone to multiple pro bowls and is easily one of the best receivers on his NFL team (I know that doesnt say much cause of the team he's on).

Because he isn't a possession WR. If he had more opportunities, you'd see how freakish he is. He is deceptively quick for a WR his size and also he is faster than you think. RR was wide open a lot last year on deep routes but when a QB throws 10 yards behind you, naturally a DB is going to glaze all over you.

He hasn't even really shown being a possession WR the few opportunities he gets, so I don't see where that came from. He doesn't just make one person miss, often times it is two or three.

RR is the best WR to come out in LA since Wayne. He is too talented to be anything but a 1st round pick by the time he is done here. He is the complete package, size, speed, power, quickness. Is he great in all those areas? No, I don't think he is. Is he a freakish athlete like Green was? No. Is he physical like Julio Jones? No. But what he lacks at being great at, I think he makes up with versatility. He just needs a QB to give him more consistent opportunities. RR is a very fluid athlete. He will breakout this season, book it.
