2017 Verbal: Christian Watson

[GreenfieldBison]

You've got some good points but he probably got those invites more on his size and speed than his hands. IIRC he was still dropping balls in the spring season. By the way I'm not trying to take anything away from him, just don't think he's got the hands that Vraa had.

I'll go with this - he certainly has not had the hands that Zach has/had for as long as Zach did. I don't believe anyone could reasonably argue this. But I believe that if we compare catches/target for Christian this season alone vs Zach in his final year that the metric would be quite comparable.

How about that?

I don't want to hi jack a thread about Watson, but Vraa would catch everything.

But Watson is so fast, he would have caught this ball in the end zone untouched and wouldn't have had a d back running stride for stride with him.

Fair enough. Not here to argue, just stating my opinion. By the way Bot....that was a LB running with Vraa in your video, not a DB.

Isn’t that amazing what a difference it makes? I think I posted once before here that I once sat in the front row at a MN Wild game. Holy crap those guys are going fast!!!

Zero bullshit detected. Watch Watson on the field and this is exactly how he plays.

This is the most insane catch I have ever seen in person. The fact he stays on and feet and runs in for a touchdown was, is, and will always be mind boggling.

I am really interested in this as well. He just seems so much faster on the field than anybody else these last two years.

Absolutely. How many times has he run down the field with a running back as they score making it look effortless while all the DB are left in the dust. I'm going to be shocked if he doesn't post an impressive number in the 40.

Watson reminds me of Randy Moss, in the sense that he would look like he's not even running hard and would just blow by fast guys. He just glides like a deer.
