Great article. It is going to be exciting to watch Duron over the next several years. We have such depth at the position right now, we are unlikely to see much of him anytime real soon.

 

[EDDIE GGGG27]

I think we might see more of him than you think. Dont have much size at WR and could be used for jump balls inside the red zone.

 

[Taosman]

Duron knows how to block. That alone will get him on the field!

 

[NFBuck]

According to the Bank on Scout, Duron will be wearing #9.

Duron was the most underrated player in last year's class overall. He will be a Top 5 WR from last years class. Him and Posey are going to be scary together. He may not be one of those 6'4 super freaks (Julio/AJ Green) but he has is one of those guys who does all the non-athletic things right. Running routes, catching, blocking, etc. He is still plenty athletic though.

Like Robiskie?

I agree he is a lot like Robiskie in a lot of ways but I think his ceiling is higher than Robo's. Duron is really polished for a kid that just graduated high school. (Not too surprising consider his father)

I'm not disagreeing with your comment about a higher ceiling (I couldn't say at this point), but polished is exactly how Robo was described....for the same reasons.

Agreed, Carter and Robiskie have many similarities. Carter though will absolutely take your head off with his blocking. He's nasty when he hits.

+1
God his crack back blocks in his STA game on ESPN, were amazing.

Per ant and another poster on scout: link
"When we signed Duron Carter he was 6'3. He showed up at Ohio State last week and was measured at 6'4 1/2. 198 pounds"
Thanks, ant.

Really liking the red zone opportunities with him

 

[Buckeneye]

I think we'll be seeing some red-zone fade finally.

Here's Cris coaching up Duron and some others... its obvious that Duron is the leader of the group

6'4 1/2, man, he is going to create some mismatches, and I think he can see the field a lot earlier than people think. He has great size, and his hands are phenominal. His size alone can have him playing early, I don't think we've had size like that since David Boston....unless you look at the Fiesta Bowl when TP played receiver!!
