[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1061434, member: 12283"] I have concluded that I have been overthinking Egbuka the same way I did Jefferson coming out. Not that Egbuka is on that level, athletically, but with JJ I got really hung up on college usage because he was used so much as a slot and protected from press coverage. That is also the biggest criticism of Egbuka as a prospect. If you just take a step back, it's almost impossible to imagine how Egbuka won't be good in the NFL. -He has good size-- arguments that he's a slot only (which I have repeated) are based only on usage; his size/speed don't limit him to that role. -He's a 92nd % athlete by RAS with great explosive metrics (jumps, 10 yard split). -He played at the highest level of competition, facing the best defenders in the country. -His program has become head and shoulders the best in the country at developing WR's. -He was extremely productive. -He has some of the best hands in the draft class. -He's extremely tough at the catch point and as a blocker. -He's experienced (4 seasons), but not over-aged (22). -He broke out early-- 74/1151/10 at 19 yo in 2022 (plus 11/87/2 on the ground). -By all accounts, he's an extremely high character player. -By all accounts, and on tape, he's an extremely intelligent player. -He is a slightly better version of Jaxon Smith-Njigba (similar athletes, exact same role), who has 163/1758/10 along with 86 first downs through 2 pro seasons. I just don't see how a guy like Egbuka isn't a highly success NFL player. I think he would create a lot more stability in the passing offense and allow Petals to use a lot more 11P without sacrificing anything in the running game. [/QUOTE]
