Fair enough, but don't pretend like Floyd will be a bust because you say other ND players have been. He's big and fast and had great college numbers. I'm pretty sure he will be a good pro.

I agree.. I believe Floyd will be a beast in the league.. All I did was see him make plays every year at Notre Dame. I didn't see anything that showed me that he'll be a bust. I'm looking forward to seeing him in the pros..

He never made plays in big moments and the majority of his success was against inferior competition. Being big and fast is great, but there's a ton of big and fast guys out there who aren't good NFL WR's.

He drops too many passes he shouldn't, while also making the tough catch, he's lackadaisical on far too many plays, he doesn't fight for the ball as often as he should, he's not a threat after the catch,he's got no burst and doesn't seperate vs. tight man coverage, nor does he accelerate well out of his breaks. There's no suddenness in his routes when getting in to a break. He lacks explosiveness. Good straight line speed, but not elite straight line speed, not a good combo when you don't have the great start/stop/sudden ability.

And most importantly when they played the better competition he shied away from the challenge and did not compete.

If he played anywhere else, he'd get nowhere near the hype he gets. He's the WR version of Jimmy Clausen and Brady Quinn, and just about any other hyped up ND skill player heading in to the draft. Last time they had a big time WR come out of that school it was Tim Brown.

Of course I could be wrong, and we'll see for sure soon enough.

My only question about Floyd is how he'll deal with more physical corners. They played Florida State in their bowl game and Xavier Rhodes (6'2 200) was getting the better of him until Floyd got knocked out of the game.

Well in his defense Rhodes is seen as of now as a 1st rounder in next year's draft, one of the more taller corners he'll probably see in the NFL anyways

You must really hate Notre Dame.

[NDAlum]

Yep, he really does lol

That's why I don't even like the school to be brought up here. He immediately comes in to bash them.

I'm not saying it is unwarranted FWIW

Sanu will be fine, I think. He is a good value as a low 1st rounder, high 2nd rounder. Some team looking for a 3rd WR will get a nice addition.
