mdonnelly21 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Out of these WRs who was the most physical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Julio Jones should be put on that list, also where is Hines Ward? With his ability to block he is as physical as any of the guys you listed if not more so. If one is talking pure toughness hard to not say Anquan Boldin is the top out of the guys you listed in terms of breaking tackles. The others are just big dudes that workout a ton.

Duluther Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Most physically aggressive? Q, for sure. An absolute dog. HM Hines Ward Most physically gifted? DK Metcalf. A Greek god. HM Julio Jones. (Though first place is Calvin) Best physical game? TO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it but sure maybe, still you have dudes drafted in 1996, 2019, 2003 and 2006, quite a range for just some player comp. 1 hour ago, Duluther said: Most physically aggressive? Q, for sure.

DK might have a rude awakening this year without Russell Wilson throwing him the ball. And I agree Hines Ward should be included in any physical WR conversation. Still crazy DK was a late 2nd round pick after running a 4.33 40 at 6-3 228, at the time fastest ever recorded for a player 225 or heavier, 27 reps at 225 and 40.5" vertical. Sure he was hurt at Ole Miss but was well worth a 1st round pick physically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Q for me, but admittedly I was just slightly too young to watch/analyze TO in his prime to evaluate the two. Q and Steve Smith are the most physical WR's I've seen that kept it clean. If you want to include cheap shots, Hines Ward takes the cake there.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Owens. Can't recall all the times he put a defensive back on their butt. George Teague probably still has nightmares. Edited July 18, 2022 by TecmoSuperJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 You talking blocking, pushing off, hard to tackle? TO was probably the most difficult to tackle WR that I can remember. Michael Irvin, Keshawn Johnson, and Randy Moss were great at the push off. I always hear about Hines Ward blocking, I know I saw a lot of blind hits, don't recall him blocking straight up all that often, though to be fair, I don't get a lot of Steelers games regionally. Currently, Allen Lazard is very good at blocking, for a WR. Chiefs fans will find out that MVS is pretty good downfield as well. Then you also have to look at a guy like Cordarrelle Patterson. He has found some success as a RB, which is typically more "physical" than WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a couple weeks later take a crap in the middle of the locker room because the running game was dominant and he didn't get a bunch of passes. Kind of imagine Antonio Brown in DK's body. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggie. Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'm curious how effective Q would have been at CB; his jamming skills would have been elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Steve Smith more physical than all of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
