Ja'Marr Chase Says Les Miles Told Him He Couldn't Play WR Coming Out Of High School

Yet more evidence of how Miles squandered the talent right under his nose.

He was right about Dak being a better fullback tho

LESLIE Miles

LM only saw one game in his mind, if a player didn't fit, he couldn't change.

Miles got it wrong many times

You guys don't understand the genius of Les. He was using the George Costanza philosphy of life: "If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right."

Who is Les Miles......?

Les Miles also told Dak he couldn’t be college QB! Les Miles is a fuking idiot!

Chase could have played DB and WR at the same time and been all SEC at both

Les was probably correct in that he couldn't play receiver for him. hard to be a receiver when you don't throw the ball

Les Miles once thought Jefferson was a QB, actually he thought it for 4 years

Are we sure Chase would not have been an elite DB?

Les Miles made Malachi Dupre the WR he is today.

Just think if the transfer portal existed during the miles era.

Miles era was always put your best athletes on defense. No surprise there.

Miles knows offense! ??

Miles’ strong point was obviously recruiting QBs.

There is no doubt that if he was forced to, Chase would have excelled at CB also. Certain coaches seem to put more value on CB than WR, I think looking back that Mo Claibourne would have been a better WR than he was at CB. I think Miles and Patrick Peterson talked him into playing CB. But with Miles vision of offense, CB might have been the better choice.

Too much of that 'grass' for Les!!!

Great at evaluating talent , that was miles strong point
