Would have had to put in the work and stop the drops. Dupree dropped enough balls to have probably won a couple of more games for LSU.

Yes he played in an old style offense with Harris and then Etling. But you still have to catch the ball.

yes, and he caught the ball against his body rather than with his hands. The great receivers go get the ball with their hands.

Hell, basketball players rebound by high-pointing the ball and grabbing it with their hands. Good football receivers do the same thing.

Dupre caught balls against his body, even when he jumped up for a high ball.

As soon as I saw that his freshman year, I knew he wasn't an elite receiver.
