I'm generally a fan of analytics, I think some individuals get too caught up in a specific stat or two and will dismiss talent if it doesn't fit their statistical agenda. That 2.5 yards per route run doesn't really seem to jive with me. With all due respect to that random twitter handle, he states the 3 most predictive variables in college WR success in the NFL is:
-Draft capital (duh)
-Breakout season
-Yards per route run
Which leads us to these WR rankings:
You cannot tell me in any world that Odunze is the #5 receiver in this class. It's insanity and a perfect example of looking too hard at spreadsheets and not enough of tape.
