on any size of guy. But on a 6'6 guy it was beyond impressive. It was high end freakish.

And my implicit point: coach Holliday wasn't all that impressive in developing Mitch for either the D1 level, or the next level.

Meh. I don't see the problem with #1, and it's pretty tough to criticize

I wouldn't see a problem w #1 if I didn't think it cost us a game or two.

So do the yewts have a better all around athlete at WR than Mitch Matthews?

One of them is Tim Patrick, who played at JC with Nick Kurtz...

thanx. Of course there's 6'8 athletes in the Matthews/Blackmon mold. It's Utah.

6'6 w/ legit sub-4.5 speed (not yewt 4.3, mind you) is exceptional anywhere.

Is this a serious question you really think he was a great "all around athlete"?

Doesn't surprise me. Other than Blackmon, I didn't see players improve under him

Very possible. I heard the other WRs spent a lot of time coaching him up

Couldn't agree more with Houk...totally underutilized...so frustrating

It was. In terms of productivity. But he was also just straight-up fun to watch.
