Which was ALL projection.
He wasn't running an advanced route tree in college. Nor was he facing complicated coverage schemes. He was mostly running curls and slants in college and doing it against vanilla looks and mediocre talents.
People presumed he could/would run advanced routes because they saw fast feet. Turns out they haven't translated apart from the jitterbug shit.
Projecting skills and traits from a guy who may have been mis-used I understand. But something like technique? I just don't get what we were thinking there. Technique needs to be demonstrated on tape and I just can't imagine he did so. Especially not based on what we've seen.
It was just an odd selection.
