The obvious takeaway is that the PAC 12 uses smaller footballs covered in stickum on deeper throws.
Pac 12 football is going down hill fast.
Ever since USC stopped being good Pac 12 has gone to s**t.
You mean since they stopped cheating.
9 out of 10 Universities cheat. The 10th one is in last place

From an article on MSN about players who seemed like good scheme fits for the teams that picked them.
"Last season, the 49ers had two dominant receivers, and neither one of them fit the typical mold for an actual receiver. There was tight end George Kittle, who was. among other things, Jimmy Garoppolo's most consistent deep target. And there was rookie receiver Deebo Samuel, who was Kyle Shanahan's Swiss Army knife in that Samuel could line up all along the formation and do multiple things. That still left Shanahan, the NFL's best offensive play-caller, one guy short. Every offense needs a receiver who can get open vertically, help take the top off a defense, and help his quarterback create explosive plays. When the 49ers took Aiyuk with the 25th overall pick, they got that guy — in spades.
"You wouldn't just peg him at one position," Shanahan said after the pick of his newest target. "You know, he can do all three. He can play the X, he can play the Z, he can play the F. He's got the speed to get on top. He's got the quickness to play in the slot. He's got the toughness to go over in the middle. And the guy is just completely committed to me in to being as good as God ever intended him to be."
All true, based on the tape. In many ways, Aiyuk reminds me of a more explosive version of Emmanuel Sanders, who San Francisco traded for last October to try and jump-start their downfield passing game. Sanders was okay in that role, but Aiyuk — who proved last season that he could be a consistent deep receiver and play in the slot at times — makes Shanahan's offense even more illegal than it was before. Good luck, NFC West."
I like that he used to be a running back as well, just like Hurd. Not sure if Deebo was ever a RB but he sure plays like one with the ball in his hands, as does Kittle. Defenses will need to bring their big boy pads to handle those guys once they make the catch. Would have liked Lamb but according to most of the reports I have been reading this guy has something of the same mentality and I can certainly see the upside of drafting Kinlaw.

The reality is that most players have similar talent and toughness, desire and work ethic are what makes the player. Guys like Roger Craig and Jerry Rice had average measurables but had the biggest desire toughness and work ethic. Dante Pettis doesn't have that and Shanalynch should have known this
wow this is an "OK boomer" type of comment lol.
sorry maxsmart but that's being a big time a*****e, who cares if he likes cats, and is or isn't metrosexual, jesus christ people need to get a life, and stop with insulting name calling, sound like the damn ignorant POTUS.
Dude, how long have I been gone? You came back?
I am really glad AB81rules came back, probbly a month back now. Its awesome so we can all understand the salary cap. Thanks AB81Rules!!

I didn't even come up with it. It's a nickname he's already earned from ASU. And I
quote :
But it was his yards after catch where he made his mark. The former running back led all players in the 2020 NFL draft class with an average of 9.9 yards after the catch, according to Pro Football Focus, earning him the nickname YAK, as in, the Yards After King.

Article got the stat wrong. He averaged 10.9 yards.

Well, during the NFL draft, they said in 2019, he averaged 13+ yards after the catch and averaged 18+ yards per catch. His YAC was greater than Ruggs. Ruggs just slightly bested him in avg yds per catch though. So in that regard he is a better fit than Ruggs. Also something hopefully is a sign. He has played the running back position prior to be moved receiver, just like Tyrek Hill played both. I think Ruggs is more straight line speed and Aiyuk has better quickness.
