Trey Quinn is the next Wes Welker or Eric Decker or Danny Amendola or Steve Largent.

Yep. He reminds me of all of them for some reason.

I've seen nearly all of Trey's high school games and he doesn't resemble Welker at all to me.

I think Trey's problem is you don't see elite speed until he needs it. Not sure what to make of that.

I agree that he has different gears. I still think it is the stride and running style that misleads many. Watch Colin Kaepernick today, very similar. It is tough to get an angle on these guys because of their deceiving speed due to their stride length and fluid/effortless running style. Watch Trey's film over the years, and you will see many fast safeties with the angle, and he outruns it.

For that matter, I've seen Quinn being clocked at 4.38 which is faster than Kaepernick.

Name: Colin Kaepernick
College: Nevada Number: 10

6'5 Kap= TQ barely 6'0 He may have long strides for his size but not the same at all. FYI I like TQ but being that he's short with a relatively long stride is a hinderance in terms of quickness and agility. Despite lack of both runs good route and makes tough catches = good football player. I see this guy being lance Moore type and watching today's game golden Tate type player. I don't agree with immediate PT bc he has to be able prove route running and most of all understanding of coverages, the latter being his most crucial element of success

Long stride, short strides doesn't much matter at the end of the day. It's how fast you get there, and statistically he gets there fast.

I agree, route running, coverages etc are important as well.

Yes, but it is okay, he is scrappy.

National hs receiving yards leader while playing in Louisiana 5a ball the entire time. Nohing else needs to be said, he is going to be a force

Moustache, I understand that YOU didn't say this, Scout did. Quinn is very shifty and very quick and it translates very well to the football field. There are sprinters who can burn up a track, but are quite so spectacular on a football field. The speed/quickness this kid possesses is made for the football field. Scout is just filling in paper with words.

Since we can compare him to only white recievers. Here is another slow white lsu great. His career turned out ok. LINK

The Tupelo Daily Journal sports section today, Monday, has an article about who is visiting Ole Miss and State this weekend. Trey Quinn is listed as attending ole Miss's weekend. It says he is not committed to OM, but is coming to visit this weekend. This bothers me. I'll keep up with what the papers say about him. The Ole Miss writer over here is from Baton Rouge and used to be in Monroe too at their paper. I'll keep up with his articles and let Tiger Rant know about Quinn's visit.
