Ummm, Duke is still a better pass catcher. He's just dumb as hell and doesn't have the work ethic to overcome his deficiencies (his speed) like Coates has.

Coates still has stone hands and is bad at finding the ball in the air. He's in the NFL because he had ideal size and is an top tier athlete with freakish strength and speed. If he had Duke's attitude problem then teams probably wouldn't be willingly to overlook his bad hands. And if Duke had Coate's good attitude and work ethic teams would've been more willing to overlook his lack of speed.

Dukes problem was never lack of talent. He had enough talent that one point he was considered he top WR prospect in all of CFB.

Being a better pass catcher does not dictate talent.

There are a hundred guys in the NFL who can do what Duke Williams does...better. That is why he's sitting on his arse; whereas even with drops Sammie Coates is now an integral part of Pittsburgh's offense and will continue to be so. 40+ yard catch in each of the first 5 games? That is basically guaranteed points on each of those receptions.

At no point in time was Duke Williams more talented. Never. Not even once. The only moron who had him as the "top WR prospect" was Mel Kiper; so please don't try and slip that bullshite past me. Mel Kiper hasn't been relevant in a decade. Duke Williams was never even a Top 3 receiver in this CONFERENCE; how the hell could he therefore be the best prospect in the COUNTRY?
