Size-Strength-Speed
Ahrens possesses very good height and acceptable weight for a Wide Receiver. His strength is also acceptable as he can break tackles but there are also times when he goes down too easily. Added bulk should increase his strength. His speed is not over the top but he is light on his feet and can move in a confined area well, especially for a player as tall as he is.
Separation Skills
Uses his head and long body to get open. Displays a very strong ability to know when to sit in a hole vs zone and can utilize his body to hold off defenders vs man.
Ball Skills
Catches the ball with his hands well. Has an ability to contort his upper body to make difficult catches.
Big Play Ability
Displays an ability to make people miss in the open, is a respectable returner that scores from a distance. Once he gets going he can move and make people miss.
Bottom Line
Ahrens has the frame and skills to possibly attract some mid-level BCS offers.
I guess we are a mid-level bcs team and fan base that has settled with offering 2star wr who have a penchant for selling drugs. I thought we might be better than that.
