Watch this mofo cut and change direction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxzPryPMB74

I think he is going to be a star. Most of the fast times are being run by track guys who converted to football. This is a football player, who just happens to have Olympic caliber straight-line speed. His ability to cut and change direction is sickening and he catches the ball well and is tough. I think he is a big reason why Geno Smith put up cartoon statistics at QB.

* Matt Barkley looks like a toothpick in street clothes. I wouldn't want him either. He regressed sharply when he lost his left tackle, who I believe went #3 overall last year. He had talented WR's at USC and didn't get it done.

* Alabama corner Dee Milliner can't catch a football. He dropped virtually every ball thrown to him in position drills -- some of the catches were incredibly easy catches to make. He has a HORRIBLE set of hands.

He likes to compare himself to Patrick Peterson as a corner -- now I know why Dee Milliner never returned punts or kickoffs at Alabama ... he would have fumbled or muffed 30 of them in one season.

His stats say he had 2 INT's last year at Alabama. I would seriously like to know how he managed to pull that off after watching him drop ball after ball today. Maybe he will get drafted in the top 5 like some think ... but he can't catch.
Like they always say, if he had any hands he would be a wide reciever.
