at least he's in the NFL though

He returns more than he doesn’t.

I turned to my wife and said "thank God Mickens is still Mickens'ing."DerekJohnson said:Gets engulfed in tacklers, jumps up and starts flexing

And he slides down with 2:02 left, giving the opposing team an "extra" time out.
Well done.
lol -
I never thought he would make it but he’s ballin’ out for Tampa

I still don’t know how the fuck he made it in the NFL

He is like a faster version of Mario Bailey. (And a bit quicker)EsophagealFeces said:I still don’t know how the fuck he made it in the NFL

At least Mickens put up stats in college before surviving in the NFL (203 receptions for 2187 yards and 12 TDs).EsophagealFeces said:I still don’t know how the fuck he made it in the NFL
Marvin Hall is the really bizarre one. In his entire college career (29 games), he had 16 receptions for 203 yards.
Edit:
Does Mickens post here?

Yeah you could hardly tell them apart other than Mickens testing faster. Bailey caught more than he dropped too.longduckdong said:

He was likely told to slide before getting tackled. He also had a nice kick return of 43 yards near the end of the 3rd quarter.dflea said:And he slides down with 2:02 left, giving the opposing team an "extra" time out.

Bailey playing the slot in today’s soft AF NFL is probably a weapon. He was just too small to play in a league where defenders could actually touch you. Don’t think for a minute that Mickens can hold Mario’s jock strap. Just don’t.chuck said:

Yes, he probably was. But getting two more seconds out of that return wasn't going to wreck the plan. It could have been a big deal, but it turned out to be nothing since Erin Rodgers can't win a conference championship game.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

Nobody does think that about Mickens, but great post. If you watch an older NFL game, it was a lot different.theknowledge said:

I was being sarcasmic. I dont give a fuck that Bailey couldn't catch on in the NFL. He was one of the best college receivers I've ever watched. Mickens wasn't suited to sniff the ground where Mario's jock strap lay.theknowledge said:

I'm going to throw in a challenge here. Bailey was one of Washington's best clutch receivers who also played on a great team. But wide receiver isn't a position for which Washington has cranked out a ton of next-level talent. Even "one of" the best college receivers ever watched would only work if you tended to only watch Washington play. I don't think you can seriously put him in that category. He had a knack for getting open and a separate knack for getting behind defenses despite not having elite speed, and he made catches. But there have been an awful lot of freak athletes to play the position.chuck said:

It's always hard to say whether a player would catch on in different eras. But I think the main thing with Bailey was he was too small and too slow for the NFL. I do wonder why he couldn't catch on as a slot / possession guy like an Edelman. There's more use of that player today, and maybe that would have been his lane. -
Mickens is just faster and probably quicker. Bailey was a better receiver hands down.backthepack said:

I figured it went without saying that i was making the statement about his place in history from a UW fan's perspective with all biases implied.creepycoug said:

But...Mario put up similar numbers to the WR who won the Heisman in 91. He put up big numbers playing for a conservative HC and an OC known as the round mound of the ground.
All I would say is that he was as good and productive as was possible to be on the team he played on, with a conservative HC and OC nicknamed "the round mound of the ground". That puts him among the best college receivers I've watched. It's not an objective opinion, but it's not a completely unsupportable one either. At least it wouldn't be for someone with better debating skills than I have.

No it wasn’t. Guys use to kill each other and 15 yarders won’t thrown for breathing on the QB.backthepack said:

Yep. And they didn’t stop for commercials every 15 seconds to review the play and kill the momentum.dirtysouwfdawg said:

Thanks. I just noticed that I had some editing errors so it's no small relief that it passed muster with the judge.creepycoug said:
