Realistic expectations for Stephen Sullivan?

How good should we expect Sullivan to be? Anybody here see him play live?
Does he have the speed to separate from SEC quality DB's. Everybody can see he is 6'5" or 6'6" and 220lbs roughly, but how good of hands does he have, and will he be used as strictly a possession type receiver over the middle, or are they going to try to send him long at times?
It will be interesting to see how good he turns out to be, its probably anybody's guess at this point.

Considering he'll probably have at least 5 inches and 40 pounds on SEC DB's,
he can just Mike Evans people and not worry about elite speed.

Does he have that kind of speed? I thought he ran around a 4.7 40 time tops? what are his fastest recorded laser timed 40's?
Mike Evans runs about a 4.5 40 yd time, which is elite for that size. If Sullivan gets his 40 times into that range, he will dominate virtually anybody.

I think he can be great, and an outstanding touchdown producer with his size, height and speed. He and Drake Davis will make a great combination. This is a great WR class. White we did not get the 5 star like T. Johnson or Dupre, we ddi get some very high upside 4 stars that can be elite by 2017 after a year of development. That is perfect since all other receivers return next year.

Drake Davis is pretty much a can't miss prospect, but he runs around a 4.35 40 time, which is like Calvin Johnson, but Sullivan is simply not that fast is he??
I have seen times listed for Sullivan as low as 4.49 for the 40, and as high as 4.74, are these way off, which of these times are closer to the truth?

Sorry but that made me laugh.

Oh heck no Sullivan is not as fast as Drake. Drake does have elite speed and I think those 40 times are about right. Sullivan will catch more balls and go over the middle as well as be a great goal line target. Drake may only catch 15-20 balls a year but takes the top off the D with big plays. Sullivan and Drake will be perfect compliments to each other.

Agreed, but it is a fact we do need to start opening up the route tree and throwing slants and crossing patterns, you cant just throw down the sidelines every game and expect that to work.
The definition of insanity is to continue trying something over and over again and expect it to suddenly start producing excellent results, when it hasn't done so in the past.

I'm thinking Marquis Colston type, but I have nothing to base this on except his vitals.
Posted on 1/14/16 at 10:25 am to CajunPowa
I have always been concerned with his speed. 4.7 is a little slow for the SEC, but he can be utilized I side the 20yrdline. That is where is size can be a huge advantage. I would like to see him used on slant routes where he uses his big body to shield the defender to make the catch.

I'm wondering if somebody like Colston would be his ceiling or can he be similar but develop more speed once he is on the workout program here.
Colston has been a great player over his career, but can Sullivan become more explosive than that?

I've seen lose to 4.7 time. Fustrating to have an abundance of different facts on his speed. That could make a huge difference.
Posted on 1/14/16 at 10:30 am to ReverendJeffro
I hope he ends up being more than simply a red zone threat, cause he has every other measurable to be outstanding, aside from questionable speed, if that 4.7 40 time is legit.
Posted on 1/14/16 at 10:32 am to CajunPowa
I still have a tiny hope that tries out DE.

I agree can't wait to see what he can do.
