Typo on my part. I was going off his combine measurables and he was 5’8”

I got yah. To me there have been a few guys somewhat built like Tyreek. The difference between him and others is he actually looks like an NFL WR rather than a track star with pads on. Plenty of fast guys in the league, but most still do very little when it comes to their NFL career because they have limitations on how a team can even use them. Tyreek has zero limitations. I would add that extra 10-15 lbs. makes a huge difference as well! Tyreek can take a hit and keep going.

Most Steeler fans right now with the thought of what Pickens might become.

Remember the Limas Sweed hype? Feels uncomfortably similar.

Story about Limas Sweed he actually lived in Larry Footes house in Allison Park when Larry went to Detroit.

The housing plan was next to ours and as my kids told me he didn’t give out as good candy at Halloween as Larry did.

And he probably dropped the candy on the ground and made your kids pick it up while he rubbed his hand complaining of cramps.

He reminds me more of Bryant hype than Sweed hype. Sweed looked promising, but he was never considered an unstoppable talent.

Course Bryant killed his own career off the field, but he absolutely could ball out.

I remember the Sweed hype was unreal during camp. Could have been just the carry-over from the offseason, but I remember the fans were absolutely beside themselves over him. He was quiet during the preseason games his rookie year but the hype was still intact. Ward, Holmes & Sweed was supposed to be the next best trio.

Bryant's hype was more about speed than playmaking ability. He was widely considered a raw prospect. Fans wanted that field-stretcher back, and even Ben kept shouting on his soapbox about wanting that big play receiver. But Marty's hype didn't really gain steam until after a few weeks of camp. He had a slow start in Latrobe, but then they started heaving the ball at him and he started making big plays.

He hasn't won me over yet, but Chase is still steadily grinding. Said it before, but I like his approach this year. Less talk & more effort.

He has to tools, and last year was a surprising disappointment with his backslide.

It would be great if he put his career back together. Sure didn't help that he's been playing with an increasingly broken QB situation throughout his career so far.

Diontae, Chase, Pickens, Austin, Boykin, Miller... And Muth. That's a very nice stable for this season.

Boykin has also been having himself a nice camp

There's certainly opposing views bein seen on the rumor-mill... Not seeing any validity to this MIFootball tweet, so take it with a grain of salt
