Finished #3 & #4 nationally in average yards per reception in 2013 & 2014.

I guess it's his fault Auburn finished in the 100s in pass attempts during those 2 years.

Look at NFL WR rankings. Mike Wallace is arguably the best homerun hitting WR in the league, but is way down the rankings. Mainly because Tannehill sucks past 10 yards and Big Ben has a cannon. Sammy Coates is the exact same type of player, with the exact same QB problem.

How would you grade Coates on the first four?

Here is Travin Dural's(similar player) eval:

Hands: 22/25
Route Running: 16/20
Blocking: 3/5
Release: 18/20
Speed: 15/15
Run After Catch: 12/15
Overall: 86/100

I like Coates...even after him going Calvin Johnson on us. I just think you have to realize how small of a portion that is. There are a shite load of guys that will be NFL players that weren't on that list. It's tough.

This was the stat line for the last WR on the list:
101 1219 12.1 11

That's more catches, 500 less yards, 2 less TD's than Sammie had his whole career combined. The kid above is a sophomore.
