Re: ***WR Tyler Simmons commits to Bama***

My point is he was getting caught by high school players. It will be a whole new ball game as you know when he gets to Bama. I hope I am wrong and you are right.
Tider Insider states he is one of the fastest receivers in the country.

Re: ***WR Tyler Simmons commits to Bama***

It's hard to evaluate him as a WR, from the tape I've seen at least. Hopefully he can contribute.

If a defensive player gets the angle on you its not the same as being run down.

Re: ***WR Tyler Simmons commits to Bama***

If you can't see Tyler is fast in his highlights then I'm not sure what you are looking at. In every article I have seen they describe him as a speedster and Andrew Bone's tweet after the commit said he is one of the fastest players in the southeast.

Welcome and RTR Tyler!!!!

Love the vertical threats when we have the strong arms to get it to them.

Re: ***WR Tyler Simmons commits to Bama***

From his bio, it states he has been playing a lot of RB so it will be a plus once he gets the ball to see him outmaneuver the defensive players in space. Also, love the information posted that no one will out work Mr. Simmons. Speed, after the catch skills, and the ability to make the most of his skills via working at his craft, all in combination makes for a significant contribution. Welcome aboard!!!

Re: ***WR Tyler Simmons commits to Bama***

raw speed is certainly important but not all great receivers are that fast. Route running, toughness and "hands" can more than make up for any lack of speed. I think the staff knows what they are doing and they have reasons for the offers they make.

You think they know what they're doing? I think so too. I get your point but I think he's more than just a speedster

Re: ***WR Tyler Simmons commits to Bama***

Actually from film this guy reminds me of Norwood. His thing wasn't so much speed, (though he had speed) so much as he was a bigger guy that used his body position to wall off receivers and make those critical third down plays.

Re: ***WR Tyler Simmons commits to Bama***

Welcome Tyler. I'm excited. Reminds me a little of our reaction to Kenyan Drake's commitment. All I see are good things, what is not to like about this young man? He has PLENTY of speed and looks to be a very good all around player. IMO there is just not enough familiarity with him yet.
