Looks like he could be a Petey 2.0 at his size. Hope they get him on an official here soon

Petey was listed as 6'1" 196 in the NFL mock.

So a slightly larger version...he definitely looks like he could take the top off a defense which will open up the middle for the intermediate game as well as the TE up the seam (a common play of ours especially the last few seasons)

What NFL scouts are looking at with Petey is his speed which is comparable to the FBS WRs in the draft.

That's what I thought I was getting at when I said he could take the top off a defense. Can break a long TD on every pass play, but also can get up and win those 50-50 balls in the red zone or on a key third down.

Having watched the video I didn't see him break anything or outrun any defender. What I saw was good hands and good blocking and mostly short pass receptions. He may be more of a possession type receiver which is fine with me because I like the bigger targets. Maybe he's gotten faster as he has matured but I don't see Petey's speed here, granted I'm not a football coach or a scout :)

Best wishes to him. Considering that two of the other three offers we had were military colleges/service academies, I think he had more on his mind than just football...
