[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 671122"] The Schroeder comparisons are many: - Tall, fast white guys; Schroeder was 6'3", 200 lbs., and I see one report that he ran a sub-4.3 at the Combine, though I don't see a confirming source. - Both are/were exceptional athletes...speed, leaping ability, strength; Schroeder intended to pursue the decathaon until the Packers drafted him. - Both came out of small college programs, Schroeder out of Wisconsin-LaCrosse, though he played only one year of college football to Janis' 4 years after redshirting as a freshman; Schroeder's college sports career was primarily as a track man. Janis was a 3 year letterman in track at SV State. - It's fair to characterize both as primarily straight-line runners. I'd say Schroeder tracked the deep ball better than we've seen from Janis so far. I think it's fair to say Schroeder was not a particularly savvy route runner even after many years in the league which is of course one of Janis' shortcomings to date. When one thinks of Schroeder one thinks first of "stretch the field". Schroeder's 3 productive seasons with the Packers were 1999 - 2001, when he averaged 64 catches, 989 yds., 6 TDs. During those 3 seasons he was paired with Freeman who had similar stats over that period in an offense where Favre spread the ball. In the end, though, Schroeder and Janis are two different human beings and one cannot account for similarities and differences in what goes on upstairs. I'll say this much...Schroeder had a bit of a goofy streak that I don't see evidenced in Janis. On the other hand Schroeder played with a QB who's gun slinging standards were perhaps not so exacting as the current QB. [/QUOTE]
