Fuller is an exceptional wide receiver in terms of speed, length, and tracking the ball down field. The guy, talent-wise, is very, very good.

Without thinking about it much, maybe a poor man's Larry Fitz. They both catch the ball so effortlessly. Fitz was obviously much more polished as a route runner, but they catch the ball pretty similarly. And Fitz didn't have the off field issues that Carrington has. He is guy people will have a hard time placing in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I'm not sure about the Fitz one haha. To each their own, but Carrington ran a 10.49 100 meter time in high school. That's very fast, specifically for a high schooler. That's the same time his former teammate and current US Olympian Devon Allen ran coming out of high school. Looking at Carrington's build and athletic ability, just reminds me a lot of Fuller.

Looking at Carrington's build and athletic ability, just reminds me a lot of Fuller. I needed to explain/expound on the Fitz comparison, but had to leave and posted it without much explanation. Fuller overall is probably a much better comp, but my comp was on body/hand usage. Both Carrington and Fitz do a really good job at squaring up to the QB and shielding the defender from the ball. They also use the full length of their arms to catch the ball rather than letting it come into their body. This allows them to catch and turn quicker than a lot of other WRs that don't extend their arms out. Those traits from Carrington I liken to Fitz. I haven't watched enough of Fuller to really compare the two, but speed, burst, quickness I would agree on that comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Ducktator Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I'll throw a toolsy kid out there after his big game against Iowa; Anthony Mahoungou. Born in France, went the JUCO route before ending up at Purdue. He is big, smooth, and fast. He is a raw talent (doesn't extend with his arms much for the ball, route running needs work), but his athleticism is impressive. Purdue would get bowl-eligible with a win this weekend against Indiana. It would be great if he could work himself into a postseason game invite. Not sure if he is draftable yet, but I'd expect him to be in a camp next year because his fluidity for his size is impreesive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD4L Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Love me some Steve Ishmael. Same applies with Auden Tate. Jaylen Smith has some upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 This McCants had a good game for USF. His measurable are interesting listed at 5'11 235 that's like a brick wall build of a running back. Dude also lays people out on blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersuavesky Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Stanley Morgan finished the season just short of a 1000 yards. There should be plenty of tape on him. A mid round prospect at WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanS Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 This seems like a weak WR draft. Other than for Antonio Callaway (Florida), I don't see many other pro-bowl talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Callaway proved enough his first 2 years to be the clear-cut best WR available this year (should he choose to enter the draft). And IMO one of the 5 best we've seen in the last 10 years. I would rate only the following WRs as better talents than Antonio Callaway in the last 10 years: 2011 - AJ Green 2011 - Julio Jones 2014 - Odell Beckham Jr. 2017 - Corey Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groink Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Callaway hasn't shown he can be a lawful citizen of society, let alone a NFL receiver, let alone a Pro Bowler. I wouldn't draft him at this point. Too much money on the line for someone who can't stay on the right side of the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
