KJ Osborn

Advertisement
Osborn seems to be a very solid/steady option as a #2 WR. Very reliable, just not game-breaker/game-changer.

Right now I see our pecking order & talent level similar to 2017:

#1 option - AR (when healthy) = JT
#2 option - Chris Herndon = Jordan/Mallory
#3 option - Berrios = Osborn
 
KJ was one of the leaders apparently on the Buffalo Bulls team.
When he came to the Gables, he bought in, on who and what we are as Canes.
Kid stepped up and is showing Leadership on and off the field.
Great guy, and the icing on the cake is that he is well spoken, and very coherent, in explaining his concept of Leading, and Winning In the O room..
A super addition, and is a plus for our Canes all the way.
I am a KJ fan.

That’s obviously hyperbole, but the math isn’t on your side. The % of players going to the next level increase exponentially with each star. So yea, you’ll find the 2* players who make it to the NFL. But they’re outliers. The star system is actuay pretty accurate.

That's a very simplified way of looking at things. Obviously the math doesn't favor 3 star, 2 star, and unranked players, because of the sheer volume of those players compared to 5 & 4 star players. This simplified view fails to account numerous variables/factors which prevent the analysis from being placed into a proper context. Not the least of which is examining the correlation between recruiting rankings, and the players that actually end up being SUCCESSFUL in the NFL. It's not enough to simply look at the players who get drafted-that doesn't provide us anything meaningful.

The star system indicates the likelihood a player is successful in college. It doesn’t have anything to do w likelihood a player is successful in the NFL.

Successful college players are drafted... so yea, if the draft correlated to the star system.... then the star system is a valid tool.

If high draft picks don’t pan out in the NFL, then it’s the NFL evaluation process that’s broken.
