re: Devonta Smith = Marvin Harrison

Look back at some of the early film his time at Syracuse and from when he first came into the league, he was fast. His speed along with excellent route running allowed him to get separation. His 40 at the combine was a 4.49 and in college he ran a 4.38.

I didn't say he was slow. I said his tyle of play was different than Smith's. Go look through a lot of his game logs. I'll just pick his best season in 2002

11/144
12/150
11/99
14/138
11/107
9/101
10/128

He caught a shite load of balls within 10 yards of the LOS and usually used his quick hips and route running to pick up yards after the catch. He was not the guy streaking down the field for bombs like Smith has made a career doing at Alabama. That doesn't make him slow. It just makes his style of play different than Smith's. I'd compare Jerry Juedy's game to Harrison's more than I would Smith's.
