"At the same point in their careers, I would have Sammy Watkins rated higher [than Julio Jones]." http://on.nfl.com/1lUd72u
Both were great prospects, both can run, although Julio is BIGGER, and FASTER, both had to learn routes. Watkins has better hands, IMO. Julio was a better blocker."At the same point in their careers, I would have Sammy Watkins rated higher [than Julio Jones]." http://on.nfl.com/1lUd72u
Nor is he close to Green, or Johnson. If he was, I'd be driving the bandwagon. I am a good driver.I don't see why. Julio was better than Sammy in almost every aspect as a prospect. It's not even that close, imo.

Oh, you really think I'm caught up in that? Silly, I am not. Watkins, world class speed...please, not even close. He CHOSE for a reason. THAT is not even my point. He has great hands, but limited routes.Really? Don't get caught up in combine #'s, Watkins has world class speed. had he chosen to run at his pro day you would have seen this.

I understand you're a huge Sammy fan, but Watkins was definitely not tougher than Julio, not even close. Julio was just a bully in the SEC, harder to tackle than most RBs and an elite blocker as well. And yes, Julio is faster than Watkins, both in timed speed and game speed, I don't really know why you seem to think otherwise.Taller? Yes.
Faster? Only if you use the combine and not game speed.
Tougher? Heck no.
Better run after catch? Nope.

Don't forget, tough wise, Jones ran a 4.3 40 with a broken foot. I'm out of this. Best wishes, especially for our team. Watkins said he would break the 40 record...did he? No, not close. I like him, but not at @ #2.I understand you're a huge Sammy fan, but Watkins was definitely not tougher than Julio, not even close.

Julio was a true freak of nature, Watkins just isn't really in that same conversation. Watkins vs Blackmon or Crabtree as prospects would be a good debate, though.
