There was nothing in the early posts before he got on campus and in Fall camp that said anything other than good size or good speed. Most questioned why he had no offers. The most positive comments came after he was in Fall camp and people saw him work out on the field.
Size and speed mean nothing if the WR can't make plays ... see Apo for an example. Drage wasn't a big or particularly fast WR but had great hands and ran great routes.
