And you would be wrong. College is just a stepping stone to the NFL. These guys want to go to a place where they can produce to help get them there. Contrary to popular belief, NFL teams don't give a shite about a great college WR's team's W/L record

I have not seen Johnson play. I did watch the Cedar Hill game with Lodge playing against DeSoto. Tell you what...sight unseen for everyone else, I would take Lodge as my #1 WRer target. He IS that good! Plus, he returns punts too...don't know how many other WRers do that plus do they return punts as well as Lodge.

Lodge has speed, size, vertical leeping ability, yards after catch, etc. Like I said, Johnson I'm sure is great, but Lodge is #1 WRer target for me.

They obviously don't care about college production either. James Wright is doing just fine with his handful of catches he had in his college career. Maybe playing in a pro system with limited opportunities is more valuable than playing in a system that they will never see in the NFL and getting the ball every play.

LSU has more receivers in the NFL than Texas Tech, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma St combined.

I would say the team you come from outweighs raw state when it comes to the NFL

If that's the case, then why not choose the school that has the most WRs in the NFL?

LSU.

But they do give a shite about how that WR performed on the biggest stage against elite DB's. Dont act like a WR that is elite in the SEC is equal to a WR that is elite in the Big XII. I thought that would have been obvious.
