Speed has to the most overrated wr trait. For most really fast wrs it actually prevented them from developing since they could just out run everyone.

Noah Brown was solid with the Cowboys he was a great number five played special teams, and last year really broke out but honestly he didn’t really fit with Dak Prescott he was really good with Cooper Rush which kind of makes sense that he would be better with a back up quarterback but man he’s been pretty good in Houston.

Tough thing is he's 30 coming off an acl. If he stays with LA and Herbert I think he has his best shot at a great season.

I hope for the best always been a guy I've rooted for since Clemson and im shocked that didnt bring up that wild neck injury in college i thought that kinda set the tone for how riddled with injuries his career has been.

John Ross played with Joe Burrow. He wasn't very good.

[@kennycai8695]

The crazy thing about Cooper Kupp's career was that at first, he was not even recruited or ranked (this is where the infamous "0 star" remark came from) cause scouts considered him too undersized to play WR. Compared to most of the other WRs in his class, I have to imagine Kupp had the biggest chip on his shoulder, which is good, cause when the Rams gave him a chance to be on their roster, he not only took it, but went from the #4 option in the depth chart to a staple in the Rams' receiving corps. While I applaud his incredible perseverance, my concern for Kupp is whether will he be too banged up to play anymore, cause since that Super Bowl win, Kupp's biggest battle has been against injuries more than defensive backs.

[@RBK_3]

Undersized? Then he must have had one hell of a late growth spurt. He's 6'2" 208Lbs
