Didn’t realize Noble Johnson

Went to the same HS as Jaxon Smith-Njiba, he’s got the physical tools to be the next great WR to come from that HS

Noble is a big body but has been electronically timed at 4.63 in the 40. The Tigers currently have extremely limited foot speed. The two fastest players are Shipley at 4.45 and Stellato at 4.43. Hope we can get that boat turned soon. Need more in the ETN and Andre Booth mold running sub 4.45's (along with Tanner Muse). Once we had it and now we don't.

Mike Williams 4.59

Exactly. Our speed is fine. Just need a QB


Feb 7, 2023, 8:04 PM

who can deliver the ball on-time and on target enough to give receiver a chance.

You don't have to be a 4.4 guy to be a good receiver. The NFL us full of them.

Remember when Nuk at 4.56 was considered slow

as a member of receiving corps (with Sammy and Martavis at 4.42.)

Mjc won't see this but I've tried to up vote with TU on most of the posts but I'm being ignored. Wish I knew why.

If both Antonio Williams and a healthy Adam Randall...

are on the field, I think we'll be fine in the speed department on the outside.

I hope Antonio has proven once and for all to this coaching staff that every receiver doesn't have to be 6'3 and weigh over 200 lbs!

Jerry Rice ran a 4.6 at the combine. Agree, speed isn’t the only factor to being a great receiver.

On the other hand it helps. It helped Rice that he had Cooper and Clark who were burners. U need a guy or 2 to stretch the field.

Sure but...

you can't fill your WR room without any burners.

People have been asking for years now why our WRs can't get separation.

Also, the lack of 100 yard WRs could be about the lack of break-away speed.

Did having Sammy not teach us anything?
