I feel like this year Steve is being extra nice about these prospects rather than brutal honesty. Steve is the GOAT wr evaluator bc of his brutal honesty so I hope he's not changing

[@bendy113]

This year is also stacked at WR, could just be that there's so many great receivers that there isn't much negatives for him to focus on.

Me son played pop warner football with brian ...at 11 years old i knew i was looking at an nfl player ... crazy athlete !!!!!

[@dommaxie4084]

That’s interesting to hear, because people have been saying he’s only played football for a few years lol wonder where they came from

[@rikodesinko]

I think he started playing at Walker High sophomore year. Played basketball before that. Not sure if that means he didn't play football till then or didn't play in high school till sophomore year.

[@G27388]

@@rikodesinko His dad wanted him to strengthen up and lift some weights before he took on Varsity. His basketball team won a huge title that season too.

We got him at 23 😂 glad it worked out

[@tactful_colt8536]

I’ve been waiting for this. He’s been mocked to the colts a lot but all I see is go routes and deep balls. So it’s nice to hear he’s more than that

[@rjwill1992]

Colts would be a great landing spot. He'd excel in a vertical scheme with Richardson.

[@DanTh3Man25]

thinking the same exact thing as you bro, I am a colts fan as well so I was so-so about him mocked to us but this vid eased me up a bit. I think Corley in a late round pick would be a good fit for us

[@OmaAlkebulan-grace]

Steelers would be a better landing spot

[@willrouse82]

Jags got him at 23. I'm geeked

[@Boltergeist78]

His breakaways/separations are insane. He immediately separates once he catches the ball. Doesn’t take but two strides and he’s already uncatchable. Ohh… and he can actually catch the ball and keep it lol.

[@Boltergeist78]

notice this post was before the draft lol.

[@m4ent723]

Ooook one of my other dudes.. I’ve been waiting for this break down!

[@crashHypnotize]

I damn sure hope it translates. Because I loved the selection and wanted them to go for him for sure. A downfield burner with strong hands.

[@chopsnz88]

BTJ is an athletic freak at that size, smooth burner speed, good deep ball tracking. Shifty enough on cuts and lateral quickness to make defenders miss, high points the football from his basketball background. Needs some work on route running nuances and on releases vs press but he has the potential to be a top 10 WR.

[@omz31]

Well, he’s in #DUUUVAL now!!! How do you feel about Trevor slangin the ball to him?

Trevors gonna love this guy, finally he has a true deep threat that he hasnt had in Jacksonville.

[@J-K-A]

It’s their job to know who the player is and they don’t want to risk their jobs on an unknown quantity. Almost exclusively, people don’t get in trouble for saying no. Being wrong on a no is usually forgiven or forgotten way easier than being wrong on a yes, even in equal measure.

[@michaelbarnes406]

I dunno, Aiyuk is probably one of the 3 or 4 best route runners in the entire league. BTJ looks solid on the limited route tree he runs but that is a pretty big leap.

[@thatfantasynetwork132]

Yea, he was giving too high of praise...

[@raptorracer350mo]

Pretty big reach having him as a top 3-4 RR.

[@user-qi2is9bo8i]

Top 15 maybe 10 RR idk bout no 3 or 4

[@dygeriyanbarge7159]

It’s called fitting the offensive playbook and if he’s lining up as x y z or h-back route tree is different from all position he was needed where he was at because of the talent on LSU he is also speaking on potential of the receiver. Adams came and worked his way into being a top 3 route runner in the league come on man apply common sense that’s all you have to do 💯

[@micahemmanuel3359]

Aiyuk is a system receiver. Some team’s GM will be fired for selling high on him.

[@RsChrisG]

He's a bit raw, but his physical ability/speed are absurd for his size. 4.33 at 6'3 is nuts. Lets go jags!

[@Joeypots]

I have BTJ at #4 but I fear he’s also a boom or bust. But that ceiling is just so high.

[@franklyncheatum2324]

I'm really hoping that BT2 is JJ part deux

[@troitrav]

When I saw him at Walker against Destrehan in the playoffs, I called him Julio Jones Jr. then..

[@kakarotsongoku6875]

Hopefully he'll be there at the 21st pick

[@mmurph2686]

Smith has a very appropriate hat. Los Angeles is definitely a city that has been turned upside down.

[@user-hg4hz1lx2h]

I honestly can see Colts, Bengals, or Jacksonville. But, I wouldn’t be too shocked if he falls to Buffalo, gotta remember there’s huge potential in OT this year, Edges don’t fall too far from the tree, QBs are gonna occupy 5 maybe 6

[@DrewSorensenMusic]

9:23. I dunno. That ref setup a great screen on number 14. He can’t really be blamed for that one.
