Sorry if already posted. First time I saw this was today.

I think he needs to get some of his lateral quickness back. Judging by his games last year, he's lost a half step after bulking up

What's "lateral quickness"? He hasn't lost a half step. He hasn't bulked up since he joined the NFL. Still 190. Any bulking up he did was before his first NFL season. He speed appears to be better than it was in college.

Ive only seen a few games last year of him playing but he didnt look to be losing speed IMO.

Great to see him doing well and getting recognigtion. There were a few asshats on titans.com that were just dumping on the kid when he got picked, IMO just cuase he was a white kid from the sticks.

He weighs the same as he did during his first year in the NFL. He hasn't lost any quickness. What I saw was way worse blocking this last year, other than on his one return for a TD, and after you get rocked I think it is harder to trust and run full out. The Titans re-signed Hawkins and that is not going to help him get more touches as a WR so he is focusing on the return game for this upcoming season.

To clarify, he's looked a step slower to me since he's been in the pros. Whether that's because he's sometimes tentative, because everything around him is so much faster than it was college in relation to him, or because he has lost half a step.

Though I should of learned by now to not have any sort of opinion that might go against the grain on eGriz :roll: :lol:

You are free to have your opinion, you just happen to be wrong. No big deal. I'm sure I will be wrong some day. :lol:
