It's not that I think he is a three year player, it is just that I'm not that worried about "protecting" redshirts these days.
Percy Harvin - 2009When is the last time a receiver under 6 feet tall went in the first round of the draft? I hope he does go in the first round but I don't think its a lock he is a 3 and done player
If Chris Black is Percy Harvin then by all means burn his redshirt, but to compare a kid who has yet to play a down of major college football to one of the most prolific SEC players of all time is premature to say the least.Percy Harvin - 2009
Thank you. Someone finally gets it!When is the last time a receiver under 6 feet tall went in the first round of the draft? I hope he does go in the first round but I don't think its a lock he is a 3 and done player
IMO Chris Black very well could stay at Alabama for his full years of eligibility, redshirt or not. Historically, if you look at receivers who have left early for the draft, they are guys with exceptional speed, size, skill set, etc. CB does not have the size to leave early for the NFL at 5 feet 11 inches tall and less than 180 pounds. He will get bigger, more muscular, etc. but he will not get any taller.
Receivers of his size are not the type that leave early, regardless of their play making ability. Their demand is just not that sought after in the NFL.
See page 3...:wink:Thank you. Someone finally gets it!
I agree he is the exception. I was only answering a question. Black has a long, long, long way to go before he even thinks about being in the conversation with Harvin.Percy Harvin is an exception. The guy was pound for pound the strongest guy on the team. Chris Black physically has a long ways to go.
