I don't think any of his catches was on Sauce, but he did have a good game.Tank also had a great game against Sauce Gardner in the 2021 AAC Championship game.

Better a midget receiver than a midget QB.![]()
Would be better if it was Tank Scruggs and Juice Dell.We got Tank, Juice, CJ. What is this, the Longest Yard?

Wasn't Holliday considered a RB?Never watched Tank play, but I get Trindon Holliday vibes from everything I'm hearing. Tell me why he's better than Holliday.
All he does is make plays and bring excitement. I know most Texans fans aren't accustomed to that.
I will say that I don't agree with all of the draft capital Nick is giving up to move up in this draft, but he sure is going to more butts in the seats.
Trindon Holliday was a special team return specialist and was rarely in on offense. Tank is a sure handed WR who is not limited by routes while also being a pretty good returner. The similarities between the two is size and Tank is probably 3 inches taller.Never watched Tank play, but I get Trindon Holliday vibes from everything I'm hearing.

I had him, Juice and Anderson in a lot of my PFF mocks.I had him going 73 to us in my final mock draft:
The Texans have shown tons of interest in Tank Dell. They visited with him at the combine, pro day, local prospect day and had a top 30 visit. He doesn’t fit the typical mold of a Shanahan WR. You aren’t going to ask him to run block like Robert Woods and Noah Brown. But he is a weapon that is a threat to score anytime he touches the ball. I see the Texans manufacturing touches for him to provide a spark for this offense. He will also be the primary KR/PR and Frank Ross will pound the table for him to become one of the best return men in the league.
Definitely a fast twitch guy
Trindon Holiday was another example of an offensive weapon the Texans wasted. Should have got more out of a guy like that. He’s an X-Factor, a wrinkle at the very least keeps defenses guessing.Never watched Tank play, but I get Trindon Holliday vibes from everything I'm hearing. Tell me why he's better than Holliday.

Yes, I believe in little people.He's a baller! He's got great hands, catches every freaking thing in his zip code.
Sauce was not on Dell.I think I read that when Tank played against Sauce he caught 9 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown in 2021. That seems like a fairly good production.
Saw him plenty. Like I said, I hope he succeeds, but you don’t draft a guy in the 3rd round on a team devoid of talent all over the place to return kicks and play “some” slot. Metchie will be the primary slot receiver I imagine. I know he’s a UH guy and that get the majority of guys in here amped up for some reason, but he’s not gonna translate well to the NFL in my opinion. I hope I eat those words, but I ain’t running out to buy no gravy.Watch some film on him and get back to us. This kid is not huge, but has great hands and is like a water bug with the ball. Good luck catching him.

I suppose they could play Metchie out wide with Tank in the slot.
Dell is such a smooth route runner. I can see him running Cooper Kupp’s “ocho route” near the endzone and being pretty much unguardable one on one (like Kupp).

Cooper Kupp reveals the origination of his nasty 'ocho' route
Cooper Kupp hit the Bucs with a nasty “ocho” route for a TD in 2021. This week, he revealed the origination of it in an exclusive interview.theramswire.usatoday.com
We've got history of smaller WRs & CBs playing in the NFL. It's not the same issue.Everyone dishing Young for size this tank in miniature by comparison. Do worry about him staying active. At point of contact, he lowers or turns his head instead of engaging to react & counter to protect himself. Better served outside the hashes & deep turn & go’s. Really don’t want to see him going over the middle like he did in College.

QBs get hit often by big guys, they get hit often by multiple big guys at the same time. That's a lot to ask for a skinny dude.
The most referred to analysis of weight related to injuries..........included by position, is that done by Football Outsiders below. There are so many flaws and unexplained contradictions in this "study," it would take too long for me to go thru them. Just a sample would be there is no control such as for how players are used and what system they play in. Types of LBs, as different their positions may be, are all dumped in the same pile. This is strictly an "observational study." But also let's look at the weight chart in which they try to show that certain positions will see more injuries at higher weight. How many 240-250 lb QBs do you find...........or 240-50 lb WRs?Looking at size comps:
Marquise Brown: 5’9 3/8 166 lbs
Tank Dell: 5’8” 3/8 165 lbs
Brown has four seasons and played 16 games two seasons, then one season 14 games and one with 12 games. Brown’s role has been starting WR since he came into the league as a first round pick. In terms of injury history, I see nothing significant relative to the average NFL starting WR. @CloakNNNdagger can correct me of course. But at the end of the day, the most important thing is having the ability to protect yourself. It doesn’t matter how big you are if you don’t find a way to limit contact to protect your body.
I am really rooting for this guy to succeed!
Dudes about my size and getting to play in the NFL for the team he wanted!
Dream come true!
When it’s time to adopt the rookies I got him!
Sauce was not on Dell.
I don't see his jersey number where Tank caught the ball.
But yes, Tank Dell did have a pretty good game.
It looks like at the 1:30 mark that Sauce missed the tackle on Tank.
They all missed him at the 1:30 mark

Even more impressive.They all missed him at the 1:30 mark
