I fully agree on HRE’s comparison example. He’s recent and plays the same position and they both came out in 2016. You don’t get much closer comparison.Compare transition data:We know these facts for certain...1. Duke had a CFL career reception rate of 57% with his transition year at 58%. In the NFL, Williams actually increased to 63% (Albeit on a very small snap count in the NFL). Even so, We can reasonable deduce that reception % is one stat that translates.In comparison Begelton had a CFL career reception rate of 69%, but his final season he finished 71%.2. Williams per catch at the CFL level was 17yd/catch    While Williams first NFL season was 14yd/catchBegelton per catch at CFL level is 15yd/catch3.  Josh Allen’s accuracy (59% in 2019;56% career)     Aaron Rodgers            (62% in 2019;65% career)4. D Williams had 4% ST Snaps for the Bills. He barely had 1 game worth of data. That speaks clearly to me that he didn’t earn a spot on ST.One of Begeltons’ best assets was his stellar ST in the coverage. He was a lead Gunner and consistently smothered returners on the Special Teams units.   His ticket into GB won’t be WR, he’ll make it on ST alone. The other stuff (high football IQ and elite level tracking/hands is just gravy).5. Begelton (6’1.1X200) ran a pedestrian 4.62 X 40 yard time with a solid 36” vertical.D’haquille Williams (6’2.2”X230) ran a lethargic 4.72 X 40 (it was the 4th slowest ran by a WR).  With a 30” vertical.6. Duke Williams final CFL season he had 152 pass targets and he put up  425 yards after the catch.Reggie Begeltons final CFL season he has 144 targets and he put up 519 yards after catch.7.  In Dukes 1st season with Auburn he punched out his OL at a bar, broke his jaw and sent him to the hospital. He was subsequently let go from AuburnBegelton broke his arm playing in game 7 of The 2018 season for Lamar. He was pacing 1,200 yards receiving at that juncture in 2018.I’ll let you each determine how those stats translate and Begelton will have to bring his A game to make the 53. However, if we’re going to compare him with Duke Williams we can reasonably give a slight edge to Begelton for both making an NFL Roster and anticipating better production. I think it’s very arguable that if you are going to select a WR to play in the Slot, Begelton is the better prospect. If you are going to pick a player for ST, Begelton is the better prospect. If you are going to select a player on RAS..Begelton is the better prospect. If you are going to compare from a character standpoint.. Begelton is the better prospect.</blockquote>
