Originally posted by Phoenix49ers:Lamb is the most well-rounded receiver in the draft. DeAndre Hopkins is an apt comparison. Both players play much bigger than their size but have the route running ability of smaller receivers. They aren't burners but have a good first step and can build up speed late in routes. Though he doesn't have an elite physical trait, he maximizes what he has with high football I.Q. and passion. His work ethic has been lauded by his former coaches. His personal coach, Rischad Whitfield, who has worked with many NFL stars and prospects, has worked with Lamb since high school and said Lamb always goes the extra mile in his training and hasn't missed a workout — even during this pandemic.

The intangibles are what put Lamb above Jeudy for me. He seems like a super intense dude, on and off the field, hard worker, good character with the right aggressive mindset.
I agree 100 percent. He sounds like the type of player that will become a no nonsense leader in the locker room. The Hopkins comp gets thrown around for him constantly , but I saw it even more in his demeanor than in his play.
