he's not going to go out and win a ton of fade route battles in the end zone a la AJ Green.


And that's kinda my thought process here. AJ was far and away the best receiver I think we've ever had and it was largely due to his size and ball skills (and, as you say, his ability to win those "fade battles"). And again, I'm not saying that D-Rob's skills and athleticism aren't off the charts. I'm just thinking from a macro-view here....there are a LOT of receivers in each class every year....and I'm wondering if there really were no other guys with similar intangibles who ALSO possessed the size factor anywhere in the entire country.

Not to mention, if he was only a 4-star guy last summer, who were the guys in front of him then and why? Where did they end up ranked as of signing day? Obviously, I don't expect many people to really know the answer here, but obviously D-Rob wasn't the consensus pick not so long ago.

AJ Greens don't come around in every class. No one like that in this one.
