Movin on up

Johnny Knox WR 6'0 185 from Abilene Christian ran a 4.34/40 at the combine. He had the honor of being the fastest WR at the combine. At his recent pro day he wowed scouts with his ability to catch the football. With his speed, and now his hands, he could eventually be an upgrade from Nate Washington. He may be available to the Steelers at the bottom of the 3rd due to his level of competition in college.

Sweed, Nance, and Baker

whether we like it or not, I really feel like the FO are comfortable with these three guys backing up Holmes and Ward. plus add in miller as a good reciever and MMoore , you only have one spot open for a four wide set. I know there can be injuries and I’m not confident in Nance or Baker because I haven’t seen much of them. While I don’t object to picking a reciever, I’m not sure they will go that way, it all depends on BPA and what they’ve done in the picks prior to that one. I don’t know much about the guy but I never put much stock in the 40, there so much that goes into running in football: keeping speed in and out of cuts (agility), vision, balance (if someone does hit you can you stay on your feet), strength (break out of tackles), and control (can you do all this without fumbling or staying in bounds etc) . You must add that into the straight line speed for a guy to be real dangerous. Plenty people are fast but do they have the whole package.
