So I’ve shared my thoughts on Shaduer. This isn’t personal. When I see shyt that don’t add up I call it out. In no particular order:
1)12.9 yards per catch.
That is Travis’ yards per catch over 2 years. I have never seen a college WR who goes on to be a star NFL WR avg this few yards per catch. Especially in a watered down big 12. Travis was literally playing against future Enterprise managers and Golds gym supervisors. Future star WRs are supposed to dominate if not be otherworldly in college. Don’t take my word for it, career college ypc of various levels of WRs:
They all clear 14ypc, let alone 13. Travis is obviously an explosive athlete, so my only takeaway is he is not a polished route runner. Like Richard Sherman alluded to, but Travis got defensive and rejected legit criticism …a bit of foreshadowing
2) Ngga you not playing both ways full time. NFL players can barely get thru a season. He’s already frail, plus he’d be a walking soft tissue injury, assuming he’s even good enough at both positions. Speaking of which..
3) Tet McMillan is the better WR prospect. Will Johnson is the better DB prospect. There is no value added for playing 2 positions, so why is he rated above both?
If Travis is smart he’ll focus on 1 side. I lean toward DB. At WR, I don’t know who his comp is. From the naked eye his elite trait is YAC. I would say contested catch ability, but his lean frame makes that questionable.
On defense, the comps are better and easier. Antonio cromartie, a bigger Deangelo hall, Derek Stingley, Trevon Diggs. Elite athletes with elite ball skills. Any of those dudes could have played WR in college. But they focused on 1 side and benefited. If Travis focuses just at DB he can have that type of career. If he gives part-time focus he’s gonna get cooked
