Rolando Jefferson

[GrandpaDuck]

Back to Jefferson.

Reminds me of a Dez Bryant, Criner type receiver. Lob the ball up to him of let him go get it. Then a load to take down for a CB. Plays fearlessly (at least the plays that made the highlight vid).

[woundedknees]

Take the minuscule entry level money for a top 10 pick, and become an instant millionaire?

Why would anyone think that made sense?

[Boom]

cliff is mid 1st round pick regardless of his weight, hes gone after this year regardless. really think a guy with his kinda of personality is gonna pass up that opportunity to come back, add on some weight (which a super dedicated cliff could of easily already done), and try and jump up the draft board a few picks. consider him a senior this year, thanks for the memories cliff! and maybe having Jefferson come would make him think about his decision a lil longer, but i def dont buy the hes gonna come back to add on weight theory.

I think its a guarantee that Cliff tests the waters. What he does after that isn't easily predictable.

If he's smart, he'll stay in school. He's built like a nickel back right now and no amount of speed, ballhawking ability, hands, and impact in the return game is going to change that. The NFL is all about mismatches, and Cliff is an immediate size mismatch against every WR in the league not named Steve Smith (Carolina's) or Desean Jackson.

It's a lot easier for a coaching staff to improve a guys weight than any of the skill you listed above.

Walter Thurmond has an almost identical build as Cliff Harris.... and would have been a likely 1st/2nd round pick if it wasn't for blowing out his knee.

Can and do are two VERY different things, especially in this discussion.

Adding the requisite bulk to be a top CB in the NFL requires a lot of dedication, hard work, and the frame to put on enough muscle without losing speed. I'm not suggesting that Cliff isn't dedicated or a hard worker, but all three of the above AREN'T terribly teachable. You have it or you don't and NFL teams can see and are looking for that.

Again, not saying anything about Cliff other than, so far, the proof is in the pudding and the only evidence on either side is Cliff's size - his legs are built like toothpicks.

Maybe he goes, maybe he doesn't, but the NFL will certainly be looking at that closely...

Anyway, as GrandpaDuck said...

Back to Jefferson.

[Phenom]

He has the most impressive highlight video I've ever seen for a WR. I even asked Cliff about him once.

what did cliff say about him?

I messaged him on FB and he didn't answer.
