'13 PA WR Will Fuller (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

If you guys had to rank the top 5 WR's in this class where would you have Fuller?

GB's list

1. Coleman
2. Treadwell
3. Doctson
4. Sheppard
5. Fuller

1. Treadwell
2. Fuller
3. Colemen
4. Doctson
5a. Boyd
5b. Shepard

IMO

Don't see how you have Shepard over Fuller.

 

[PerthDomer]

Imagine how filthy our WR's would have been if we'd landed Treadwell.

 

[IrishLion]

As a Bengals fan:

1a. Coleman
1b. Fuller
3. Shepard
4. Treadwell
5. Doctson

Higher value on the speedsters and the slot man since they already have Adriel Jeremiah Green on the outside. Treadwell and Doctson don't fit their needs as well as the others.

Yep. But he was never really interested.

Fuller's best comparison has to be DeSean Jackson, no?

Similar build, speed and hands. Will's a better route runner than Jackson, certainly coming out of Cal. And he's a little bigger and better at going up to get it. Jackson, of course, has the added dynamic of a punt returner.

Watch them on screens, though. They have thin lower bodies and slight builds so they're not breaking tackles or essentially being running backs like some stocky slot guys on those screens. Like Shepherd from Oklahoma. But, they can get upfield in a hurry, get ten yards and go out of bounds or be tackled. If the perfect crease opens up they can take it 80.

To me there are a few differences between Jackson and Fuller. Fuller has faster straight line speed, 4.32 to 4.4 I believe. But Jackson is quicker and has more wiggle.

I think the better comparison, as others have mentioned in TY Hilton. But I think Fuller should be a better all around player than Hilton.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Didn't Treadwell run like a 4.7 forty at the combine?

Haha, that may be a awkward first encounter.

 

[RDU Irish]

Good fit, IMO. Will be fun to watch that team next year.

He made his money catching 30 TD's in the past two years. He made his money by torching Adoree Jackson.

Great place for him to go. Glad he's going to be coached by someone that has some familiarity with him. More than likely knows his limitations, as well. That offense could be pretty darn explosive if Brock is up to it.

In a certain sense they both decommitted from Penn State for greener pastures.

Prior post "He made his money catching 30 TD's in the past two years. He made his money by torching Adoree Jackson."

Watching Will Fuller torch, blow up, slice and dice the Condoms superstar was one of the fun moments in the last few years.

13 observations from rookie minicamp day 1

first rounder Will Fuller has a sliver of space to work, he’s going to embarrass a lot of guys deep down the field. During 7-on-7, he got behind not one but two guys, adjusted to the ball in the air, turning all the way around, and made the catch for a touchdown.

5. Then, during team drills, he ran a quick hitch in front of a DB, then hit the gas up the field. Defenders coming from the inside that thought they had angles lost those angles in a hurry. As I said earlier this week, speed kills.

 

[zelezo vlk]

I really was shocked that people were claiming Will Fuller was a DHB/Ted Ginn straight line speed only guy. He made getting open look easy. The Texans got a perfect complement to Nuk Hopkins

 

[ACamp1900]

If he can improve his hands and cut back the drops he has a great chance to be, hell, not just a good player, but even an All Pro... I can definitely see that being realistic within his abilities... he does have to improve his hands though.

His post-practice interview is like a masterclass in coach speak. Usually I hate coachspeak, but knowing Will is preternaturally shy, its funny watching him confidently swat away questions with some combination of "Feels Good" "Play Fast" and "Work Hard."

Heck we've seen him make the hard catches, he just needs to concentrate more.

Yes, he comes out of breaks really well. So well people think it was bad coverage.

I was not in a good mood before that play. I had a great view of that play based on where I was sitting in the stadium. I had no idea about the handshake. Pretty cool stuff. It's like Will is saying "good luck now I'm going to smoke your ass!"
