The Tiger fan in me wants to say yes, and even more so because I think Shepard is a great guy and a great ambassador for the university, despite the "compliance issues" of this past summer. But we're now roughly halfway through his junior year, and he has yet to really make a mark as a WR. He's definitely got elite speed, but will his size, hands and route running ability turn off some NFL teams? I keep waiting for him to have some dominant games...but will he?

He has potential as a slot WR but he hasn't ever had a QB who could help him out. Hopefully he gets better this year and shines as a senior. Beckham looks more talented and natural at the position already though.

Shep has average hands and runs below average pass routes. He is a good runner 7 yard ave. last year. I would like to see him run back KOs and PRs. As a WR he is 3rd to 5th best on the team.
