It came off, to me, as if you were trying to say he had more ability than the others. That is why I put that.
As I stated earlier, he's on my list because he's not All American talent, IMO, and MANY project him as being such. |

Easy TW's offense....
But make no mistake he was easily ND's best receiver.

I'm still not impressed. ND's "best reciever" with an offensive team that couldn't do much isn't very impressive to me. I know, I know, TW's offensive scheme wasn't the best and that attributed to alot of it but I still dont see why people are calling him anything other than above average/good. Throw in the knee injury and I'll pass until he shows me something.
You would know more about him though, so I'll be watching. |

Best: I will go with 2:
Dwayne Jarrett, USC
He has everything you could want in a reciever - size, hands, speed, sharpe routes, good reads.
Sidney Rice, South Carolina
Hes still a little raw IMO, but thats only because hes a underclassmen (soph). However, he can put up big numbers for any QB that throws to him. He missed the opener to injury (broken finger) but flourished in his season as the teams main target. He went on to have five 100-yard games in his final six highlighted by a 12-catch, 191-yard, one touchdown performance in the Independence Bowl. I question his durability though after 3 straight seasons of injurys (knee in 2004, finger in 2005, thumb in 2006).
Overrated: Jessica Samarjkljasfdj Notre Dame
Yes, he put up good numbers, but against a stellar Defense like OSU, he did nothing spectacular. Take Brady Quinn's accurate arm away and hes just another receiver on a media-loved squad. He doesnt have anything in particular going for him, not excellent speed, only decent hands, no open field presence.
Underrated: Dorien Bryant, Purdue
Bryant was the most heralded recruit (and some could say the most talented) in the Joe Tiller era of great wideouts. Hes not the most dominant reciever in America (or Big Ten for that matter), but he didnt get the credit he deserves for the season he had. He had a less than mediocre QB tossing him the rock, yet there still wasn't a more dominant receiver over a three game stretch when he caught 40 passes for 421 yards and 3 TD's against Notre Dame, Iowa and Northwestern. Once Painter took over, his production slid, but thats not to say he isnt reliable as the top target on his team.
