What JBeam said plus I think some of his agility drills were literally slower than Tom Brady’s.

He also ran the shuttle and 3 cone drill worse than Tom Brady, so teams had some concerns about his change of direction speed.

He had some bad combine numbers. Probably was hungover or something prior to testing because he's been playing like he's going to be a beast.

He basically knew one route in college. Go straight down the field

He was drafted solely because of the numbers. He was just elite at some and atrocious at others.

He wasn't that good at Ole Miss. Aj Brown was the good one.

His shuttle drill to be specific was slower than Bradys

He also had 67 career catches at OM, so small sample size.

If he’s not running straight then things get ugly.

Is this news to you? He was often injured and put up pedestrian numbers, especially against teams with a pulse.

Good enough to get drafted in the second round. I know he was hurt towards the end of his career but his freshman year he was a beast. Anyone with 2 eyes could see he was talented. He just played on some shite teams the past two years

Because he's big and fast, not because of production.

They weren't shite on offense and had plenty draftable talent.

He’s never gonna be a complete route runner but will be one of the best deep threats in the league if he stays healthy. Seahawks are doing a great job of letting him play to his strengths. Ole Miss last year had 2 WRs and a TE currently starting in the NFL. Greg Little could be starting soon for the Panthers so it could be four. That team won only 5 games last year.
