Future stud.

Let's hope he is the Tramon Williams of WRs.

Though he is quick and elusive, he’ll out-juke himself trying to make defenders miss in the open field.

That sounds frustrating to watch. :lol:

And exhausting, but I bet he has great stamina.

Hopefully he's legit, I'm already looking for reasons to get rid of Boykin.

If he kills it in GB, that means Peyton Manning was a product of his receivers.

Sounds like Broncos are trying to keep him, so this isn't confirmed yet. I'll edit thread title.

At this juncture, if I'm a WR I would think twice about the health risk that is being a Green Bay Packer. It could be a great move contractually and it could be a health risk that jeopardizes your career

I mean this is already beyond ludicrous...Just among our WR's:

Jennings - became perpetually injured in GB during his most important stretch as a WR
Jordy - has missed considerable time with injuries
Cobb - now out for many weeks and it may be more
Finley and Quarless - each missed nearly entire seasons

Javon Walker - injured knee derailed his career

And, let's not forget Terrence Murphy who I felt was very promising before his spine injury.

I think this further puts into perspective the absolute iron men that were Donald Driver and Brett Favre...and, to a certain extent number 12 (whose name shall go unspoken for fear of alerting the injury gods!)

Am I the only one who thought of this...?

not once in the first highlight package did he run away from the defenders.

First thing I thought of. Was about to post that myself.

Looks like we'll know tomorrow morning. I bet we get him. I hope we do because he has the tools.

I'd be happy with this. Better than Boykin.

Looking around for easily available guys I'd rather have than King, it's not easy to find any, but I am learning a lot about what happened to some of the players I liked in the draft.

Did you guys know Ryan Swope retired?

emunney · Post #17 » by **emunney** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 2:33 am

Would Nick Toon be available in a trade? Saints aren't using him.

emunney · Post #18 » by **emunney** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 2:41 am

UNC had a guy named Jheranie Boyd who never put it all together at UNC but who is a phenomenal physical talent. I'd like to see him get a shot on the PS.

Wow. No kidding. That's a surprise. Didn't he have concussion issues?

It's not looking good on King. The most recent article at the gazette has his agent stating he isn't going anywhere. And, I guess we re-signed Reggie Dunn. Yay?

King is a developmental guy at this point anyway. He can only one route at an acceptable NFL level. There's some talent there, but a big FU to Georgia for zero skill development on that one.
