Turnobili Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) he's nowhere near as shifty as Tyreek, he's much more of a track runner. go straight really fast. dont see him really juke guys out of their shoes. similarly, you dont see twitchiness in his route running. what i do like is that he can go get a contested ball and has good hands. i think the brandin cooks comparison is apt Edited May 14, 2020 by Turnobili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I’ll take a faster Brandin Cooks, he was a legit baller when he was healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Raider Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I see a lot of Desean Jackson when I watch him. But more physical before and after the catch. I don't think Hill is the best comparison and agree he isn't as shifty, but I think he looks incredibly explosive and fast. He so easily pulls away from defenders it's ridiculous. He consistently outruns guys who have the angle on him. That's what reminds me so much of Jackson. Jackson wasn't/isn't the shiftiest guy, but he constantly just outran everyone. One missed tackle or false step and he would take it to the house. It's the same with Ruggs. I just think Ruggs is a little more physical thus making him a little better with contested catch abilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of being a bit more "linear" I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you compare him to Cooks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on reports about him from Alabama and watching more about his life in the pre-draft video series. He seems like a guy that's going to work extremely hard.

Turnobili Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) a lot of pressure on him, as the only projected new starter, to really change the feel of the offense. i hope he proves the draft-day skeptics (such as yours truly) wrong Edited July 21, 2020 by Turnobili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
