Deshaun should have been in no doubt about it, Ryan not so much. RD broke AU records blah, blah, blah, but he isn't going to be an every down WR in the NFL. Deshaun will play, probably start for many years and make thousands of tackles.

Thats just a dumb assessment. He can run routes, catch, is great in space, has speed etc.

He could be the best WR to come out of Auburn

Im actually the opposite on the 2. I see RD having a better career. Deshaun is undersized, slow, and a bit stiff compared to today's NFL LBs.

Watch Vander Esch play for the Cowboys. He's 6'4 250 and moves like a RB. Matter fact I'm sure his 40 time is better than a couple of our RBs.

Davis is a tackling machine in a box but the NFL game might not suit him very well.

RD on the other hand has Antonia Bryant talent in the right offense.

We held RD back and it's a shame.

If RD were to get picked up by the Pat's or Chiefs, he would absolutely tear shite up as a slot guy. He is almost perfect to take over a Wes Welker or Edelmann role for an offense like the Pat's run. Hell, he could line up in the backfield and wreck shop in their screen game. Dude is pretty versatile when it comes to ways to get him the ball in space. Auburn just didn't do it very well this year. Watch the film from last years IB. He made folks look silly.

ETA: I'm in no way saying he'd be the best ever. There's no way to really know that. But to say he can't have a prominent role on an NFL team is selling him short IMO.
