Sammy could make a credible case for being called our best ever at that position.

He is. And I don’t think it’s close. I’ll never forget that catch and run against uga to answer there 1 play touchdown by Todd Gurley.

Watching him vs our WR's the last 4 years, feels like the best NFL WR's vs High school kids.

I don’t think we have a speedster on the team like Sammy.

I have been looking for a play Sammy made at Death Valley and I don't remember the team it was against. He was split left going towards the West End Zone on a crossing pattern. He reached up just as the ball got to him and snatched it out of the air. He didn't let the ball fall into his out stretched hands, just zip, grabbed it. I believe he scored on the play from about 40+ yds out.

Thanks! The FSU catch is the one. I had looked at the BC games because of the colors but not seen a clip of that FSU catch since!
The Auburn catch is also one to see!

Everybody is talking about Sammy and rightfully so one of my favorites to ever wear the paw.
But can we talk about that Tajh Boyd roll out right and throw a dime to Sammy on the back shoulder. Great throw!

assembly required" football player we ever had. At least at the skill positions. A couple of D-Linemen, like Christian Wilkins or Dexter Lawrence also did not require much in the way of polishing.

I have watched those highlights so many times. Never gets old. Sammy was electric right out of the wrapper.

reminds me of the good old days when our receivers were coached to pluck the ball out of the air and not wait for it to hit them in the hands. We need to get back to that.

We need a couple WRs with just 75% of what he had and we'd be in great shape.... he was a beast!!!
