Mike Wallace - 4.28

[bonedaddy401]

3rd fastest wide out in the draft behind Deon Butler who ran a 4.26 and Johnny Knox who ran 4.25. Thats fast.

Oher, while he didn't run well, was spoken very highly of in the combine coverage I watched. Of course, the freefall Andre Smith is putting himself through helps him as well.

 

[Todd4State]

in the NFL than ran that fast were Deion Sanders, Darrel Green, and Rod Woodson.

That's Olympic track speed right there.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

like a heat seeking missile, I was looking for him, from then on.

 

[Irondawg]

doesn't really surprise me since he ran right past pretty much every SEC CB for 2 straight years - I knew he was fast although I didn't know he was quite that fast.

I rarely recall seeing him go deep and not have a step on his man.

Snead always overthrew him by a step or two

 

[RebelBruiser]

Yep, I think the deep ball worked better for Seth Adams, because he could basically do a five step drop and throw it as far as he could, and he wouldn't overthrow Mike. Snead actually had the arm to overthrow him, and he did quite a bit. Wallace will make it as a quality NFL receiver based on his speed. They can correct the other little things that he may not do as well. I don't think he'll ever be a No. 1 receiver, but he can be a very good No. 2. I'd want him on my team as a No. 2 receiver just because he can stretch the field deep and keep the safeties from cheating to your No. 1 receiver.

You are correct about Snead missing him deep in the first half of the season. The last six games was a totally different story. Snead hit Wallace deep against AU, Texas Tech, State, LSU (twice), La. Monroe, etc.
Snead rarely missed him in the last six games.
Snead was just an average QB in the first half of the season, but was easily one of the top five in the country the second half of the season. His TDs and INTs were something like 12-10 the first half of the year and something like 13-3 the second half.... after he learned how to read defenses and coverages.
He'll be even better this year.
