I'm trying to think of our last receiver who played with the swagger of "Just give me the $&@* ball!". For me it has to be Collie.
We've had some very good receivers (Mathews, Leslie, Hoffman) but none of them seemed to play with that demanding presence and persona.
I remember being around Austin leading up to a game while he was talking to Max Hall about an opponent. Max mentioned that they played press man coverage and Austin said "I don't give a $&@* what coverage they play! If they press me I will b$&@* slap them off the line!"
Forget analytics, size, and whatever else. I want productive receivers of any size who line up with the mindset of Collie and make their presence known.
