    Anyone see clips? He's even slower than I imagine. IDK what people see that make him a top 10 pick, he's peaked at wr. I dont see it, is it just me? I could be wrong....but.........

    Basically he's Keyshawn upscaled slightly for era.

    Keyshawn was a great possession receiver however the NFL has moved past the point where a possession receiver is critical at this point. Increased use of 3 WR sets and Spread formations has diminished the impact that any single guy makes at the sticks.

    What you need now is a guy who gets YAC wherever he catches the ball. As always a guy who can run underneath a deep ball is extremely valuable.

    London is going to be that guy who wins one-on-one matchups in the medium ranges and then gets brought down right after the catch. Reliably.

    I posted this in the WR thread, but here is appropriate as well. He's not slow, and has. very quick feet. You can see the foot quickness in the cone drills, and the raanalytics clocked him at 21.4 mph, which isn't slow.

    He’s too slow… they are really reaching using ATH to hype him up… That’s his agent grasping at straws..

    I think his stock will take a nose dive after that pro day.

    Running those routes he was stiff, slow and didn’t look comfortable. I think he’s really hurt. Ankle and now soft tissue with the hammy. Stay away JD!

    Am I off when I see London as very similar to Michael Pittman Jr.? I feel like barring injury, he's a very safe pick to be a high end WR. Maybe not all-pro caliber, but I am not sure any WR in this draft is.

    A bit like putting a rumour out about having massive hands then, no?

    I also noticed him feeling his hammy early in the clip, bad editing that, should have been snipped out lol

    Stay away from both imo

    Well to be fair he does have big hands at 10”… he uses 4 XL gloves. His 3 middle fingers are very long.


    Passing on London all day.. if we pass on Burks we’ll be regretting it 2 years from now. Same with Williams, Wilson, Olave they all will be good and if we get one of those 4 I’ll be happy.

    9 7/8ths but yeah :p

    I have really no idea why they feel the need to lie about this shit and their height and weight.

    Didn't some WR say he was 5ft 11" and was 3" shorter at the combine, Wandale?

    Back to hands though, my hands are more akin to girl's hands, they have always been small and I buy size 7 or 8 gloves in the UK what that equates to in America I have no idea but let's say they are small or S your guy is 4XL his hands are not even 2" longer from thumb to little finger than mine, that seems like a lot of hand sizes between S - 4XL for 2" lol

    Edit
    On checking

    in the UK a 10" hand would come out as L to my S not even XL nevermind 4XL lol

    They had to special order his gloves… you can’t just walk into a Dicks sporting goods to get them…

    he’s so strong handed catching the football and really that’s all what matters

    That's what I'm trying to say, they really can't have to order them in special, 10" hands are not that large or special, I put the UK measure chart up and it goes to 11/12" hands lol what would they be for Burks 8x XL ;):p
