This idea comes from a different thread and I thought that it deserved its own thread. Think of rookies Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Flipper Anderson, and Henry Ellard. These guys had great hands from the get-go. They were also great route runners, if memory serves. This is why it seems that most of the guys from last year are fools gold to me. People are hyping Thomas right now and Tavon is being relied on to be this great "go" receiver. Tavon is a great gadget guy who can take over a game...but at other times, he's swallowed whole by a defense.
For these reasons, I am counting on Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp../.both run great routes and have great hands. I think Josh Reynolds will become a monster #1 WR in time, and he too has great hands and toughness to go up for the ball AND CATCH IT. Don't know much about Everrett, except that he is supposed to be an athletic freak, but can that freak catch???
So what do you guys think? What guys with hands of stone in the NFL, ever developed into great receivers? I'd be interested to know if they exist...
