I dunno.... easy to get ahead of ourselves on this guy. We know he is fastVinny said:He will probably be the WR2 starter by 2006.
He is 5'11" btw
Not talking about his athletic abilities as a sprinter because that is not an issue. He is reportedly a 20.3 something 200 meter man - that is fact. Whatever his sprint times were and however he places in NCAA competition, etc. he does that whether he competes in Track for Hampton or a big time program.THEFUTURE said:just because an athelete goes to a lower division school doesnt mean he is less of an athlete..

Moses runs around a 4.6
Mathis runs a 4.26-4.28
both are really shifty too, so I would have to say that Mathis is our KR and PB is our PR
well jesus, if jj is returning punts 40 yards, then id say his position is safechuckm said:I'm looking forward to watching this guy in punt returns .... JJ may be 4.6 in the first 40 but he's about 8.6 in the second 40 ...

I mean this Hampton is really small time, the only thing I can think of when I hear the name is a rodent.
tacoman_j said:If he does become our #2 reciever, I guess that would be a steal. Too raw and too small to ever contribute to our offense.
Mathis has that break away speed in the open which JJ doesn`t. JJ couldn`t out run that last guy. You will see Mathis fly past the last guy. Hopefully Special teams will block well to see him explodecptnbreakdance said:not to mention about .4 seconds faster running the 40.

It was a silly remark on my part, if I offended my apologies.HamptonGuy said:I'll take that as a joke and move on.

Charlie Casserly talks about the importance of "matchups" when assessing
the talent of a prospective Draft pick. A player in the SEC or Big Ten, for example, has a far higher volume of talented matchups than a player from
say, Hampton or NW Missouri State because they play a superior level of competition. Therefor its less difficult to measure the ability of a player from a team that faces better competition because the competition is closer to what he would see in the NFL. This is not to say that smaller schools/programs don't produce outstanding NFL players, I'm just saying there's a higher level of uncertainty for identifying small college guys that
will succeed in the NFL.

alittle over 3 minutes into it.. there are 2 good highlights.. one was Hampton at the goal line and they threw the bomb.. he was gone.. next clip i believe he ran a post pattern and was gone.
WRONG WRONG WRONG, one of the biggest knocks on the kid is he drops balls, i think he will be a very productive WR, but it is a habit he will need to "drop" so to speak. AJ had the same knock, that he dropped some passes, and AJ has worked on that every year that he has been here, if Mathis puts in that kind of work, then he will be very goodIbar_Harry said:Looks like the guy has excellent hands..
Wasn't Eric from UT or am I thinking of someone else?Texan Dave said:This guy was a verry good pick, simply just because he's a 4'th round pick that will definatly return kicks if nothing else. The main thing about kickoff or punt returns is speed and recognising when to change direction. It's the one area af the game that their is verry little change in speed from NCAA division 2, 1-AA, or 1-A, or the NFL, although it may seem like their would be a big change, most football players on special teams run anywear from a 4.5 to 4.7 40, and those kinds of guys are a dime a dozen. One coach who loves to recruit returners from small schools would be Bill Parcells, one example of that would be Eric Metcalf.
I will disagree with this statement. An in depth scouting report does says he will occassionally drop a ball when he loses concentration and tries to run before securing the ball. But this same scouting report also says he does not drop many balls, despite a tendency to body catch.THEFUTURE said:WRONG WRONG WRONG, one of the biggest knocks on the kid is he drops balls...
