His body is solid rock. The unfortunate thing to this, is that his hands also are rock. His biggest downfall in the NFL will be too many dropped passes. Otherwise solid.

He maybe likes contact too much. But for all his injuries, he always played through them, and its not like he's got bad knees or something. He may have had injuries but I don't think its a red flag, like a guy who's had ACL problems or something like that.

He takes a lot of unnecessary hits acting like a HB to get 1 extra yard and this resulted in a lot of his nagging injuries in college. He will have to be trained to go down sometimes in the NFL to stay healthy for a 16 game season.

I've always thought of him as a Roy Williams type. Freakish body and speed, but doesn't have that great of hands. I think Julio will be a better player that Williams, but if I had to compare him to an NFL receiver right now, it would be Williams.

No they don't.

Or they would not be high end WR's.

Marques Colston is a stout blocker. And he is a lot bigger and stronger than Julio.

His hands are actually pretty damn good. He had a minor case of the dropsies for the first half of the '09 season. Thats about it.

ETA - The sheer number of injuries he had facing college corners makes me wonder about his durability on the next level.

I agree with these statements.

There is a good reason why Shaun Alexander ran out of bounds all the damn time. . .he had a career to consider.

6-4 225 and built like a brick shithouse.

Julio is likely way faster than Colston, but Colston is stronger.

Hell he was on the cusp of being an NFL TE.

Why? Because I am offering criticisms and concerns about a player?

Get over yourself.

I guaran-fricking-tee that PP7 will have a better NFL career than Julio. 1000% lock.

Neither of them were in the Pro Bowl last year, and didn't have an impact all season. No longer high end receivers
