If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that one big bodied WR or another is the next T.O.....

Beyond size, they are nothing alike. Owens had exceptional short area quickness and wasn't all that particularly fast. Metcalf is a burner but with limited agility. One was an ideal WCO receiver, the other is best suited for a vertical passing attack.

True, but interestingly enough, despite Shanahan's West Coast offense origins, our scheme is a vertical, down the field passing attack. Especially on first down. Still, if Bosa is there he clearly must be the selection.

Uh, what offense have you been watching?

Have you seen him? He's Owen's clone - I agree he might not be as agile as Owens, but I'd love to have his down field speed as a weapon.

Owens was extremely fast. He routinely ran past defensive backs and took balls to the house. He was one of the most explosive big receivers of all time. He only got faster during his time in the league. He tested around 4.5 coming out but by his mid to late 20s the dude was a 4.3. He ran a 4.43 at 45 years old lol.

That's crazy. I feel like Metcalf can actually go slimmer and be even more deadly.

This - whoever was training him is an idiot for letting him get that bulky up top. There's no way a receiver with his length should be doing 28 reps on the bench press. He could have run faster in the 40 and done way better in the agility drills if he wasn't focused on getting so big. If he loses weight, he could be Randy Moss. He has better measurables (longer than Moss, as fast at 228 as Moss was at 195).
