Well maybe he can get some more meat packed in there, he must have good instincts to have put up the numbers he did in college. I'm hopeful for some day.

So then.
Ryan Broyles 2nd round pick.
Short, not fast for a wide receiver, injured. Feels like the Lions payed for a fixer upper here. Well gambles like this pay off sometimes, look at Drew Brees lol.
The good thing is that he seems to be an excellent catcher, and people touted his ability to get open.
My personal thoughts: In the highlight reels I've seen of him he looks like he gets thrown around like a rag doll. I can't imagine how he's gonna survive in the NFL. Playing the position like he does, I'd prefer a bigger more durable player.

I like Broyles personally to be your future starting WR with Megatron and Young on the outside.

I'm liking this guy (Broyles) the more I read about him.
I've looked at a few of his interviews, definitely doesn't give off that diva vibe.

Broyles is basically a younger version of Nate Burleson. Very similar skill set. And he acts very professional.
