A player comparison isn't saying a rookie will be as good as that player. It's saying they do many of the same things and/or have similar backgrounds and measurables.
It's okay if fans see what Skyy Moore did for a MAC school and say, "Hey, Antonio Brown did a lot of the same stuff in college. And they're kind of built the same way." They're not ****ing wrong.
NO HOW DARE YOU. YOU MAY NOT COMPARE SKYY MOORE TO AB. HE CAN BE SAMIE PARKER AND THAT'S ****ING IT! THAT'S ALL YOU GET!

If every 6'+ nominally productive passer out of the Big 10 has "Tom Brady's Ceiling!" then said comparisons simply aren't worth anything. And it goes without saying that any Big 10 passer SHORTER than that is Russell Wilson.
So if you come out of the Big 10, your ceiling is either Russell Wilson or Tom Brady. Cool.
If you want player comps to be worthwhile, I'm not sure why you'd cite outliers for them.
