So all I've heard about is this guy as a WR. A lot of mocks show the 49ers taking him first overall (really don't think the Niners will be fisrt overall but that can certainly be the homer in me.). I had never seen him play but I heard he was a freak, great hands, huge, and an awesome playmaker at WR. Watching clips, the guys sick, but like I said I"ve never seen him play, and while watching the clips I noticed something. He seems to be 'jump happy', going up for some balls that aren't needed. Is that a regularity with him, or was it just the highlight clips? I feel if he were to jump so much in the NFL he'll risk injury getting hit up in the air/on the way down.

That's almost enough to make me hope GB picks #1.

Was just about to say that. I've seen him live several times losing to UGA. But not his fault. His QB sucks.

I hope he falls to us next year. We won't be picking first. Maybe we can get him at the end of the top 10.

I watched the YouTubes, it's where I got the idea that he's very 'jump happy' even for ones he doesn't have to jump for. Especially since he's 6'4" but I've seen really athletic people have the instinct to jump for everything, maybe it's just a peeve of mine.
