WR DeVier Posey (2017 Grey Cup Champion and MVP)

He somewhat feels like a separate category to me... Posey is a better pure WR, but Stoney is a nightmare matchup.

Gotcha...It will be great to have all 3 of them on the same field, that is going to be matchup nightmares for teams...

Posey is going to have to be doubled or he is going to get open...Stoney is goign to be able to get he jump ball, make the catch over the middle and will get matchups against LB's or S's that don't have the speed to keep up with them, and then Scott will probably get the 2nd corner and he will be able to do work on him...

I'm just amazed how long it took to get the word out on him. I remember a few months back when people were doing their ohio rankings guesses most had posey around #22 or so. I always was higher on him based on his production and measurables, but it's cool to see how he's finally getting some hype after his highlights have gotten out in addition to his camp performances.

I wouldn't really compare him to TO however. The best skillset comparison I can think of is Robert Meachem, the Tennessee receiver who was recently drafted by the Saints.

Sounds like he is a real talent who went under the radar for a while. With Posey, Stoneburner and potentially Scott, this could be one of the best WR classes we've had in a number of years. Couple that with perhaps our best OL class and the monster LB classes we've brought in, the future looks bright for tOSU.

Hopefully a good D-line class and the number 1 QB in the country and one of the best RB's in the country to go with all the speed guys we brought in last year to play in the secondary, and we have the makings of something very special...

Love the Marvin Harrison comparison...sneaky fast and all he needs is just a bit of seperation and he makes the catch. I think Farrell was dead on when he talked about how smooth Posey looked at the combine. He is just so fluid. If he doesn't at least get a nomination for the AA game out of this I would be somewhat surprised.

after watching the films of this kid he reminds me of a current buckeye. like you all said sneaky speed but very good routes. he looks like robiskie, close to the same height and the way they both run. looking foward to him in a buckeye uniform.
:oh::io::osu:

Nothing against robiskie, but especially comparing highlight reels at this point, he's way more fluid and explosive than Robiskie was at this point.

The bottom line is, you don't find 6'3 wide receivers who are this fluid. The Marvin Harrison comparison is good except Harrison is 6'0 175. I have no doubts he'll be a star here.

Farrell wasn't comparing Posey to Harrison as far as size or frame goes.

The Posey/Robiskie comparison are easy to make because they are similar in height/weight (I was guilty of it initially too)...but they are totally different in their styles.

Caught a glimps of him at the GCL track meet. there was some concern that he might have injured his knee in Wednesday's pre lims, but he came back on Friday with a 22 flat in the 200... jury timed. He was timed at 22.1 at the Roosevelt relays in Dayton, probably a more accurate timing there. MVP of the meet, which, given the quality of the GCL is a pretty good measure. He's not the fastest man on LaSalle's team in the 100, but he looks strong coming off the curve in the 200. there won't be too many folks that go stride for stride with him.

Posey could be a T.O. type of reciever, without the primedonna attitude.

I agree with this. Robiskie is more physical in his play and motions. Posey looks like a gazelle in what I've seen...smooth. Both great talents, just different ones.
