I said it after the Duke BBall game, I don't think it affected anyone (Collins included) as much as Coley. He was excited to stand up and acknowledge the fans chanting his name. It didn't really hit me till the next day, but I know his experience there cemented his decision; getting Coach Coley in was just icing. I think he plays from the 1st game and after 2-3 games he's our #1 receiver.
How does a Chad Johnson comparison work? There's something to his game that has reminded me of him.
That's the best comparison there is for him. The quickness in and out of the breaks is what made Chad unstoppable and thats exactly what makes Coley such a beast. Can't say for sure, but he is probably faster than Chad if we're talking straight line 40 speed.
Everything else is fairly similar. Both have tremendous ball skills and the same frame. Chad's technique is obviously ahead of Coley's due to years of training and coaching. Hopefully Coley has a similar work ethic and sharpens his footwork and route running to that point.
As of right now though, he gives us the ability to blow the top off the coverage. Even though Dorsett could get deep, he isn't going to win one on one battles deep down field. Coley on the other hand, can win the jump ball battle against most college safeties and corners.
Great Pro comparison for a college comparison out of high school he reminds me of Rashad Green similar builds and Greene is already all acc as a soph so lets hope coley can be that for us soon. I don't think he will start day 1 but he will defintely get plenty of reps. Starters should be Hurns,Scott, Dorsett in the slot. Coley backing up Hurns and Malcolm Lewis backing up Dorsett in the slot..
its been a while but wasnt Lewis our #3 WR when he got hurt? or was that only after Hurns got hurt?
He was splitting time with scott at flanker but Scott emerged when Malcolm went down. Malcolm is better in the slot anyways and Scott is an outside guy. Lewis will be 3rd or 4th wr depending what sets coach coley will run. But Malcolm will be lethal in the slots in a 4wr set with Dorset in the other slot...
