go, we're going Sims. We're going on button style here.
Also in tier 2. So in the same tier with Quinton Johnson
is your number four wide receiver in the 2023 draft
class. Yes, sir wide receiver is well Michael Wilson from
Stanford, okay, okay. And yes,
I think that this name, if you're just getting into
the draft process is going to. You're going to go who or what
or you know? Well I haven't heard his name at hi.
I think if If you've already dope dope into some film and
you know, have seen the receivers a little bit, you're
going to go, I'm not shocked to hear him say this, just like
you
you watch some hot. You told me before the podcast, you watch
some highlights of these receivers over the weekend. See
myself as a little bit of a kind of shrine. Where are you
really good eye for? I saw John Dodson last year. I was like,
I guess pretty good. Yeah you're like I just thought so
he's one of my favorites. So I got guys, I just like you're
I don't know what their value or where they going to go. Sure.
They're just you watch the Highlights. You're like man
that guy looks different. Yes right. And I saw that with
Jackson Smith and jig book with some of the
things you saw right and then up for
Michael Wilson I was like oh this would be good since won't
talk about him he won't be in this top five. You're going to
catch me
guy that I think should get some love because you watch his
highlights and then I send my top five list and you're like
oh s*** like dang it that was my guy
but he does pop. He just hasn't played a whole lot. I know
it's like the Smith and jigga thing right? Yeah little it's
just so like if you Watch film itself. You go, there's no
doubt. This is one of the three or four best receivers in
the draft. There's no doubt.
There's nothing he doesn't do that, stop Notch.
The one thing you can look at them and go oh that might be
a night he ran a 458 and the combine at the 40. He plays way
faster than that way, faster than that.
I mean I didn't see anybody that he couldn't run by,
you know. So, you know, there's that. But I think what
the element you're talking about 21 is body, right. He's got like
one of those bodies where you go. Damn,
I don't know what he is but he just
Good 62. 250 right at just it's unbelievable legs. He's got
pretty rocked up arms and then you watch and you go, whoa,
the explosive ability. Like I just talked about to run
and then you go,
whoa, the dude can cut on a dime, right? I mean that's
the thing that when I first
that first started to watch, I was like holy crap. Like
you know again I use the word violence
and the cuts and see that's to me what Zay flowers and jig
Bubba and this Kid had was
they just it's like I'm going into this break and I'm gonna
break my damn leg. I'm gonna plan it so hard in the ground
and I'm gonna break the other one because I'm going to come
out of the break so hard. Try to run so fast. I know I'm not
I'm being silly but you know what I'm trying to say
where there's just an areal and aggression
and then all the other things we talked about with the route
running as far as body language understanding how to set people
up changing speeds, all of that, they were all great,
but the physical specimens,
Real, let alone, the refined things. You like to see in
a receiver real to. And he can be another guy that can be inside
or outside.
I think because he's got the pure size and strength and
speed to beat you outside. But it has the route running
and it looks like the smarts to be that slot. Guy that
you know catches your eye as well was a four-star recruit
out of high school in La when he was healthy in 2019, he led
Stanford in receiving, they don't Stanford wasn't very good
and hope these past couple of years have been a little bit
down so
those numbers don't necessarily pop. But yeah the concerning
thing is he missed the final two games of 2020. And
the first eight games at 2021 with a foot injury and then miss
the final six games of this past year with an undisclosed
injury. However he did play
and he did Shine at the Senior Bowl and so that is perhaps
helping him as he moves into the draft here. But the same
question is that we had with Jackson Smith and jig by A
team's got to feel comfortable with the medical on this guy.
He's a first-round receiver from film
He's a first-round receiver,
there's no doubt about that.
But yeah, those are some,
those are some tough injuries when. Yeah, your ass is on
the line and you're going. Wait, I need a receiver that can help
me right now and hopefully the next three to four years.
Wait am I going to take the guy who's
Miss some time
in each of the last three years? That's a hard thing to
do you know? But yeah he's
Love is body
and
you know, even with the 458 speed a little bit like in
Jackson Smith and jig beware. I go first off. His speed looks
faster than this as you heard me say, well, let me give you
something to help back up on that too. Because Pete's put it
here in the rundown, or Christian or Courtney. I don't
know who to give the credit to at
this point, but it does show up that we do have a 10-yard split
for him even though he ran the 4584
and a 125 split, 15, 10, yard split, so that's in the 87th
percentile. So right off the line of scrimmage Image. Exact
explosive. Exactly that. That's that's a big deal to me. The
split,
you know, because that makes up for
maybe not having the top-end speed. The other thing do and
the split is like it's his ability to come out of a break,
right? It's that acceleration again. Okay, he chopped down.
Now, he's got a break. Okay. Well, he can get out of the,
get out of the box, get out of the hole when he wants to
really turn it
on and that's where he's really good. That's where I wrote, you
know, wanting plays faster than that, 458, but also, because of
the great acceleration
and the great Uses, you know, that lack of. Oh, I wish he was
a hair hair faster.
It doesn't matter. But I can't even say I'm in,
you know, Smith and jig. But I had some plays where I went.
Oh, I wish he was a little faster. I never said that with
this kid.
I never was like,
if you, if I didn't know his 40 time, before I watched film,
I would have gone. He runs 44, 44, 45
the way he runs. That's what I would have thought,
you know, he has no problem stacking receivers he gets off
the line of scrimmage, he gets on top of not receiver.
See the db2 where they're stuck behind him and now he's in
the position of power. He's really good and stuff like that he has
strong hands,
you know, is another guy that's not affected by. People
pushing them and bumping him when he's down the field.
So, you know, he's just, he's got it all and he's got
the weapon element as well to go along with that. So
that's the big thing I wrote down
35 to 55.
As far as where he's drafted, his talents better than that,
but I'm right. That because
I think the injuries. Yeah,
he'll be somewhere in the second round because of the
the injury history. I think this is interesting to on nfl.com they
said that he plays to his top end speed at all times. So kind
of like you see on film where there might be a
player who is a 44 40
but is not playing for for know where
Michael is playing it for five basically the whole game and
it's pedal to metal every play all play along. It's that.
That's what you like about it. And that's, yeah, that's where
I always get into the violin.
Has the aggression all that you know is sticking the foot in
the ground also too. I mean
unbelievable catching the ball getting right up the field,
that's another thing you see. It's got great value than if
I was like Smith and jig batu's that way where you know again
it's First and Ten and they caught a four yard pass and
you're in First and Ten again
even though it was just a four yard pass because their ability
to catch it, turn up field and accelerate so quick you go damn
they're always in the keep you in a good manageable situation
because they never lose yards
and then this kid too.
He ain't afraid to put his
Head down and and like, try to run people over. Just go,
I'm going to get the tough yards and go between these two
guys and get four or five extra yards. That's what I really
liked about him to really, really
a fun. Awesome receiver to watch very fun to watch if you
watch the ads, be interested to see where he ends up, you know,
falling to and he was voted team captain to so apparently
his teammates like them as well.
