He ran too fast for Riley's arm to keep up?

Riley generally didn't go through progressions when he was running around waiting for Cody to get open and so when he did have to go to his other options he was in full panic mode by that time and desperately looking for anyone to get rid of the ball to?

Nobody ever questioned his athleticism, just his WR skills.

He has the physical tools, but I don't think the mental game ever got there

He was great as a freshman, but after that hit he took in the end zone - I

Riley vs Ross: An interesting study in contrasts

Getting lit up on a cross route, causing injury and concussion would be enough

Yes, for some. When it comes to the mental makeup of a player there's...

I may be mistaken, but I believe he had ongoing shoulder injuries as well.

i saw it for that stint late in 2011 when Heaps returned for an injured Riley

It shows that he's athletic, not necessarily a good WR

SUAVO

He has NFL talent

His finger injury was pretty nasty. Ongoing shoulder issues. Hard to catch balls

3/27/15 10:02am

he had a head injury on a cheap shot as well

BigYfan

To merge this with fulano's comment: Injuries can beat the grit out of some

Thank you sir. Fixed it.

Part him, part injuries, part system.

CosmoK

3/27/15 9:58am

Part QBs throwing balls into the ground 3 feet in front of him.

DB Cooper

3/27/15 10:00am

That'd be the "system" . . .

CosmoK

3/27/15 10:02am

I don't understand... the system is perfect.... (TIC)

Ross had skill but didn't have grit. I know everyone hates that word but that is

creaky joints? I guess I do as well then

icecougar

3/27/15 1:12pm

He has WR skills, but DB hands. Maybe he needs to play secondary
