    K Train Do You Honeycutt?

    he really fixed route running this past year...he also looked slow off the ball and had a very long stride which made his route running look weird, but he look ALOT more like larry fitzgerald this past season (he often draws that comparison but not sure it was accurate til now) in that he is a big man but ran like a little one and imprived quickness and explosion.

    at worst hes vincent jackson imo

    Ive never seen him as soft. As a blocker maybe, as a receiver, most definatly not. Alot of DB's had to log some serious hot tub time tackling Floyd. Like Ktrain said, he isnt quick of the line at all, but he man handles smaller CB's on the press. Bigger ones in the NFL, he may have a problem with. I think he is gonna be somewhere between Fitsgerald and Brandon Marshal in the NFL. Doesnt have great speed, but is a great jumper, tracks balls well and positions very well, so he could be one of those guys thats a good deep threat despite not being able to run a 4.5

    Dragonite Simply Arrogant!

    Wouldn't mind having him on my team. I've always seen him as a Brandon Marshall type, most of what I was going to say was already mentioned.
     
  5. I've seen him go over the middle and get hit and drop passes. Now, once he has the ball in his hands he isn't soft. But when I said soft I meant while catching the ball.

    I dont classify that as soft, I classify that more as concentration
