Deon Cain suffering from people telling him how great he is

It's pretty evident.
Never won 50-50 battles, too many drops, and productivity dropped from 2015 to 2016 to 2017.
Hope he can turn things around and make a team.

He did not put in the work, just got by on talent. He is still very much a 1 trick pony.

Hold up a second there boss, look behind the numbers...

In 2016 some guy named Mike Willams came back from injury, and in 2017 he didn’t have a QB who could throw to him/throw him open.
Instead of kicking the young man who made a choice you would likely never understand, how about wishing him the best.

Why do people always want to view discussing facts as kicking someone down? Facts are facts... Those were things he did do, and things he could control and didn't. And what's happening right now in the draft seems to back it up.
Fact is, he cost himself. Rarely separated from coverage this past year, didn't catch many if any 50/50 balls to give any great highlights, dropped balls and lack of focus, and never really lived up to the hype. But he was still the higher stat receiver of the Tigers in 2017... Though regressed from a year where he played as a backup vs a year he didn't. Love how people act like KB had a really bad completion percentage... Which that's far from the truth. His and Deshaun's are honestly very close.

And if you look behind the numbers re: Deshaun and KB2

You will see that Deshaun attempted and completed far more difficult passes than KB did. I agree that Cain could’ve been more consistent, but there is no denying that he would’ve done much better if he had a QB who could deliver the ball downfield consistently.

I’ll semi-deny your statement. Of course all receivers do better with a vertical passing game however, I stand by Cain isn’t a legitimate 9 or X WR. Even with talented QB play he can’t go win a 50/50 ball in traffic. This was proven time and time again. What he does great is run really fast and if he can get single coverage he can be a threat downfield. Unfortunately today proved the NFL doesn’t place a huge value on 1 skill receivers.
With all that said given the right system Cain can be a success in the NFL. Just never as a number 1 like our past Clemson receivers.

Cain was a great receiver. I agree that he got robbed by a mediocre quarterback. I'm still shaking my head that Dabo didn't replace him during the bama game. Couldn't even score against bama's second string defense.

I'm thankful he decided to become a member of the Clemson Tiger Family.

Always thought he would have been more productive out the slot, attacking the seam vertically / post corners.
