You are a racist POS. They guy ran a 10.93 100m. He was an athletic freak that was one of the top athletes on the entire team.


He is 5'11" with short arms. Bad fit for this offense in which we have no ability to develop accuracy.

Athletic ability at this level is more than straight line speed. Athletic ability encompasses speed, height, length, hands, lateral speed, stopping ability and on and on.

I don't agree.

There is size and there is athletic ability. He had one, not the other.

The truly elites are great in both categories usually.

Did you measure his wingspan or something? He is a legit 6'0 (measured at that at events) and has blazxing speed and very good overall athleticism.

No sir, he may not possess the size wanted, but that is not "athletic ability". I would bet that he was one of the MOST athletic overall WR's on the team DESPITE his lack of size.

Here is an example, was Trindon EVER considered not athletic? He was the very definition of an explosive athlete. Hell, he was 5'5" and could dunk all over your arse. Is he not athletic????

First of all TQ was the most complete reciever we had. Could go inside or outside, block, routes.... you name it he could do it. The tall guys had more reach in the jump balls yes. But TQ was most versatile. Ask Adam Henry.
Second, he gets a bum rap from CC. Quote by 2 former coaches. Sorry not giving source. AH lures TQ to LSU telling he can beat the sterotypical reciever of SEC west. He doesnt get that ultimate chance like others have.However, he passed the proving ground that he can play. Fact is.... you are laughable, and ridiculed in SECwest if you bring in a white skill player. Thats one reason Miss state doesnt even try.
