re: LB Jabril Cox on TE Arik Gilbert “he can be the best TE to ever play college football”

He's like Mathieu but on offense.

Mathieu was/is what, 5’8”? HB7 was so special not just because of his athleticism, but because he just wanted it more than everyone else on the field. Joey is the best player we’ve ever fielded and Clyde is my personal favorite, but Tyrann Mathieu is easily the most electric.

Arik’s measurables put him well into “freak of nature” territory. So it won’t be a shock when he blows up a linebacker or outruns a corner. Even setting that aside, he’ll have to show a hell of a lot of hustle to justify the “Mathieu on offense” moniker.

Regardless, I’m fricking psyched to see him go to work.
