I wouldn't mind him one bit in Chicago in a Tyreek Hill kind of role. Sounds like you want Ted Ginn, not Austin. Vastly different players despite the speed being in common.

He's not a good route runner, he doesn't catch the ball in traffic well, and he's not elite with his top-end speed. It's his acceleration and quickness that are elite. His top-end speed is merely good. Maybe some WR Coach figures out how to get through to the kid, but he just never developed into much of a WR here. I think I'd take a shot on teaching him how to be a HB and see if he can learn to pick up blitzes. He'd be a killer change of pace runner with some practice. That's a damn shame... loved that kid coming outta WVU, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, the instincts and football IQ aren't. His instincts with the ball in his hands are still fantastic, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, @G08, if you're that desperate, sign John "Smoke" Brown to a "prove it" deal. Or go after Paul Richardson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure... I kind of wonder if Nagy is looking at Tarik Cohen and daydreaming things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
