Seems he has been stepping up lately and good for him. Could be wrong but I remember him being a big time maybe 4* recruit but had injury issues or something in high school. He?s starting to figure it out. Reminds me of Robert Johnson a little.

He has improves and has the physical ability to be the best WR on the team. I want to add Peters looked the part on that jet swipe. I think that's the play.
He didn't fight for the ball for shit yesterday on Fitz's 2nd pick
Jackson was a 3 star guy.
The slot receiver in our offense is such an attractive position for a college player. Bumphis, Jameon Lewis, and Ross all showed what kind of huge numbers you can put up at that position in our offense. Crazy that we can't attract a legit 4 star guy at that spot.
Mixon was a nice recruit. Bama offer I thinkQuote:

Jackson is a poor mans Robert Johnson.

I am not saying it happened; but I seem to remember hearing bama did not offer the whole time, but did send papers on signing day. I am not a recruiting guy thoughQuote:

Yes, Bama sent Mixon papers very late in the game, but offered nonetheless.
John Patterson would be a four star guy if he had better grades. There are also a couple of good 4* slot receiver prospects in Mississippi next year.Quote:

I don’t understand how Gibson and Hill aren’t getting touches. Aries is a pounder but he lacks vision, quickness, and speed.
He struggles to find holes and make cuts. He’ll grind out 3 yards and sometimes drag a guy or break a tackle but there’s no big play ability there.
I don?t think Jesse played his senior season because of a knee injury. He?s battled some nagging injuries at State and this is the first year he?s been completely healthy. He?s always given 100% on special teams and waited for a spot. I would liked to have seen him battle more for that ball yesterday and he?s had a couple of drops but he?s playing pretty good. I like the way he use his body to shield defenders. I think he?d be good in the slot. He?s not a #1 receiver but he?d be a nice compliment to one if we had one.
It doesn?t matter on the field but he is a damn fine kid - the kind that fans should be glad to call a Bulldog.
