It might sound like a bizarre compliment, but often some of the poorest route runners are the guys who have the star potential. Natural talent and athletic advantage has afforded them the ability to be successful in spite of their lack of technical proficiency. Randy Moss never became a decent route runner because even at the highest level he was a genetic freak that virtually no one could shutdown. Randy was the only person that could prevent him from being a success.

Point being, anyone can become a very good route runner if they dedicate to perfecting it.

Jerry Rice had fairly average measurables from an athletic standpoint, but was probably the greatest route runner and technically proficient wr in NFL history.

You right about this BUT they must have a good release. It is very difficult to coach up a player on his release. It's why guys like Baldwin and Jenkins didn't make it.

I was considering break off the line, beating the press, and separation as separate skillsets. I agree with you totally. I was under the impression he has done pretty well in the above mentioned?

This exact thing is why if you play fantasy football you should reach for Julio Jones. Apparently he finally was forced to learn route running after the screw in his foot popped. I hear he is destroying people in camp.

That's interesting because Julio was already a top 5 guy.

Best game as a Chief; he played great tonight.

[Chief Northman]

I am a Conley detractor but I must admit he was very good tonight.

Same.

[Hammock Parties]

Props to him tonight.

I never thought I'd see a guy fail to tackle him.

Apparently all it takes is a broken leg.

[KChiefs1]

Great game.

He's Marc Boerigter, minus the 99 yarder.
