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.

The outlier was cited in the first place because one guy questioned a MAC player at that height to get open against NFL CBs.
In this case, yes, an outlier is warranted to disprove that argument. We got fixated on the AB thing, but someone else (I think saphojunkie) gave an entirely reasonable take that while true that all MAC WRs have a low percentage of hitting in the NFL, the percentage of DRAFTED MAC WRs hitting and sticking around in the NFL is actually pretty high. Not all that many busts among them.
