We are RBU so we dont really have astounding WR history.

Beasley, Bailey, and Sanders, to me, are our top three and I think Sammie is the most physically gifted but wil lthe stats come?

He won't even be the best on the team this year.

No. Duke gets a little more in the stats department this year.

Can he? He has the physical tools, but sharing catches with Duke won't help. They may become a legendary WR duo, though.

Probably not. But he'll definitely go down as one of the key components of 2013's team and he may go down as the most physically gifted WR we've had. His legacy will be great but no that of Beasley or Sanders.

Courtney Taylor was pretty damn good. Darvin Adams and Emory Blake were too. Always could count on them to make the catch

They were solid, reliable Auburn receivers...definitely. In the long run, they were average in terms of measurables and it was proven when they tried to make the jump to the NFL. Emory Blake is the only one left, IIRC. Darvin Adams washed out pretty fast, and Courtney Taylor made an OK run.

However, Duke Williams and Sammie Coates are on different levels. This is the best wide receiver duo I've ever seen Auburn have.

Very well could happen.

If he doesn't drop 2 or 3 balls last year, he'd have over 1,000 yards and a couple more TDs.

If he stays for next year, then perhaps.

You're right on all of them. They're worthy of note as well.

Devin Aromashodu is back on campus taking class at Auburn this semester. A buddy has class with him and when asked what is an interesting fact about him he said "My name is Devin and I won a Super Bowl." That was first day of class and nobody recognized him til after he said it.

Made this thread last year about Sammie Coates before the season started: LINK

Courtney Taylor has MS. That killed his career.

Does he really? This is the first time I've heard.

Looks like a lot of 1 on 1 opportunities for both WRs. Complete nightmare for secondaries.

I don't think so.

Duke hasn't played yet so he's not on any level. But I do think he has the potential to be on a different level as those guys.

Sammie only catches balls that are thrown right to him. He doesn't have good hands and can't go and get the ball. Or at least he hasn't shown the ability to yet.

Consistency is Sammie's only problem. And he finished the year a lot stronger than he started it.
