guys, he's 17th IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL in all purpose yards. i mean, i can't even right now.

My post wasn't so much about trying to downplay WW as it was just saying it is not a good comparison. TLBL has a much more diverse set of skills. When was the last time you saw WW run a go route?

that's fine, but still, he's 17th in APY all time and you're gonna label him as a one trick pony?

He runs like 2 routes, so yeah. And his PR and KR numbers are very very average. He has a large number of returns, but his yards/return are not that great.

I'm sure Welker ran tons of go routes at Texas Tech.

I think of Tyler as a slightly smaller Jerry Rice. Intelligence, humility, and great route running.

Randy Moss would be a good comparison except he only ran deep routes. More of a Moss / Welker / Devin Hester (returns) hybrid
:adios:

Given how Jerry was being thrown to by one of the all time greats i would say comparing Lockett to him would be an undersell.

NFL Media draft analyst Lance Zierlein notes that scouts say Kansas State senior WR Tyler Lockett's "personal character and football character are top-notch."

"His father was a standout wide receiver at Kansas State and played in the NFL. Intelligent player on field who has clearly learned from his father. ... Scouts say his personal character and football character are top-notch," Zierlein wrote. The highly productive Kansas State prospect will offer an NFL team, a player who has been groomed to be a professional football player. The 5-foot-9, 181-pound Lockett is known for his film study and should project as a slot receiver at the next level, that can contribute right away on special teams.

“It’s hard to pinpoint an exact team — you want to play for any of ‘em and all of ‘em. I like all the NFL teams and it would be a privilege and a blessing to be part of any NFL program. Kansas City Chiefs, it’s where I’m from — obviously that would be cool to be part of that team. I played high school ball in Kansas, college ball in Kansas, and the Chiefs are close to home. That would certainly be convenient. I would have a lot of fan support, and it would be an easy commute for my family. Especially for all my lawn clients, my landscape clients could attend.”

I would pay $73 of my own money if the Chiefs drafted him.

I think the comparisons to Rice and Irvin are close, but there is also an over the middle 3 td down element that gives him a bit of Tony Gonzalez/Art Monk/Gronkowski flare as well.

Haven't seen Finney since his first 40 run did he get hurt?

Strength was a question mark/concern going into the combine.
