[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 855730, member: 6578"] Here's my honest take on EQ. Honestly, I loved him far more than any of the other rookies selected and played in 2018 (throw Gmo in as well). Reasons were for the same reasons I was a fan of his prior to us selected him: intelligence. EQ from a just pure intelligence line is a freaking stud, throw in the fact that his mindset in football from all things I've ever heard (have friends close to ND program) is he attacks football in a similar fashion. He from a early stage at ND knew he wasn't the most "god given ability" gifted wideout and that many times he was going to line up against a DB that was quicker, faster or could jump higher...but he would be smarter, crisper and want it more. In some ways his confidence is in what he molds himself to be vs merely because he has the raw skillset. His rookie line through just 12 games as a 6th round pick and low man on the totem poll was admirable at 328 yards on 21 receptions. I fully expected a growth in this second year, even if not statistically, on his tape and deliverance/execution of his duties. His route running was already ahead of guys drafted sooner by us, but could as all improve. The injury...growth of Lazard & Kumerow, if we as an organization don't say bye to Gmo and the project that is MVS all could greatly hinder EQ's battle to contribute in 2020...the timing of his injury sucks. I truly believe he was going to be a #3 type guy for us this year by the year's end with his handskills and route running and smarts Rodgers was going to love him.... It is true though, we have in my opinion some awesome young growing wideouts...and we truly are ONLY missing a #2...due to that all of our expectations are unrealistic on all the rest. Making our judgement of them a little tainted. [/QUOTE]
