Rich7sena Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Some comps that come to my head of the guys I've watched so far: David Montgomery: Kareem Hunt with more quickness. Darrell Henderson: Alvin Kamara with more long speed. K'Neal Harry: Alshon Jeffery. Hakeem Butler: Malcom Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have said the same thing about Trubisky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareem Hunt with less quickness would have made more sense to me. Plus, he's a much better pass catcher. On 12/2/2018 at 10:13 PM, Rich7sena said: Darrell Henderson: Alvin Kamara with more long speed. That's too high of praise for Henderson. Kamara is an elite receiving threat. Henderson is a solid receiving back at best. Plus Kamara is significantly smoother. On 12/2/2018 at 10:13 PM, Rich7sena said: K'Neal Harry: Alshon Jeffery. N'Keal. And this is a fine comparison. On 12/2/2018 at 10:13 PM, Rich7sena said: Hakeem Butler: Malcom Floyd. Floyd is as stiff as a board. Butler has a lot more wiggle and long speed than Floyd ever had. I am having a hard time coming up with a Butler comparison because he's a rare kind of WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluid and physical is a good way to describe Butler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it mainly in his ability to adjust to the ball. Right now, I don't think he gets open in the NFL against may to man coverage or tight zone--he's not a nuanced route runner. He would be best paired with a QB who's willing to throw him open and in an offense that isn't overly based on timing and precision. I actually really like him with Carr and especially if Gruden is willing to loosen up and someone simplify the offense--which he has in recent weeks.

But he's quick as heck with the ball in his hands. He's a legitimate RAC threat. He's got several moves in the open field and is a pain in the butt to get to the ground. His routes are a little bit stiff, but I wouldn't call him a HORRIBLE route runner. But yeah I agree that he doesn't use his quicks to separate when running routes.

But yeah I agree that he doesn't use his quicks to separate when running routes. He looks fast as heck with the ball in his hands but I would call him quick. He is a pain to bring down because he's so strong despite looking pretty lean. I want him to be Mike Evans, but Evans looks clearly more fluid to me as an athlete. Maybe Plaxico Buress is a better comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%. When our fans start talking about him, I fear another mediocre decade. DeAndre Baker reminds me of a taller Leon Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
