hilarious spinjob by the agent. This kid caught a ton of passes and was a star all year. Perhaps the scouts didn't know he'd be quite that fast, but I seriously doubt they questioned his speed for the next level. This kid isn't jason avant. Heck, Holmes isn't supposed to have 4.3 speed like a Moss or Ginn, yet he was (and still is) the #1 WR on the board.
He had a great combine, and it skyrocketed his draft stock... right behind Holmes. Santonio runs incredible routes, is a great blocker, has been clutch for 3 years (03 UM), and has never slid to avoid a hit like CJ.
