I'm hatin' lol

[BrickBanland]

1. Dez Bryants - Okl. St. (Jr.) Gets out of breaks quickly, can create separation. Runs great routes. Strong, physical, can beat the bump, great leaping ability.

2. Arrelious Benn - Illinois (Jr.) Big and physically imposing. Like Bryant, he can get out of his breaks quickly and create separation physically. Immense with YAC.

3. Brandon Lafell - LSU (Sr.) Quick feet for a big, physical receiver. Separates using his size. Is comparable to Dwayne Bowe.

4. Damian Williams - USC (Jr.) Meticulous when it comes to running a route. Very precise. 10 catches -162 yards - 1 TD in Rose Bowl.

5. Jacoby Ford - Clemson (Jr.) Good body control. Smaller (5-10) than the top four but the biggest speed / vertical threat. Track star who had 112 yards and a TD in bowl game. Rising.

6. Marshawn Gilyard - Cincinnati (Jr.) Lanky and thin but a solid route runner. Doesn't posses great speed but has a penchant to find the hole in any zone coverage.

7. Eric Decker - Minnesota (Sr.) Lacks straight line speed but the best route runner in NC2A.

8. Dezmon Briscoe - Kanasas (Jr.) Big wide out with good body control. Lacks deep speed.

9. DeAndre Brown - Southern Miss. (So.) Huge (6'6, 230 lbs.). Can run as a deep threat honing in on making DBs look silly. Great vertical jump. Lacks some route running but he is only a soph. Recovering from broken leg in bowl game.

10. Jordan Shipley - Texas (Sr.) Colt McCoy's roommate. Consistent, good returner, McCoy's main go to receiver.
