Where as outside recievers you generally would prefer either big recievers to work the sideline or guys that stretch the defence deep. Knowing how to set up and run a route great definitely makes a huge difference in being able to do those things on the outside.Really though it comes down to just how I view each players style that I made my opinion on the comparison. Welker, much like Cobb, was the prototypical slot reciever that thrives off their change of direction skills and overall "shiftyness"(bad phrase I know). Where as Abby, at least to my eye, has looked pretty similar to Jennings physically and neither gains or gained, in Jennings case, their separation from their change of direction skills but rather their route running abilities which do translate to the outside.Mind you I'm not saying Abby will end up being a better outside reciever then a slot guy. Just that he reminds me more of Jennings then Welker</blockquote>
