Although Rome is difference maker

So much depends on where they both land.

I would be shocked if Rome didn’t have a ton of success in the NFL regardless of team, but even the best receivers can fade into the crowd if they get stuck in a shit scheme and bad QB play.

I do think Polk’s got a good shot to outperform his draft position. He’s got good size and strength and has a real knack for making contested catches, which pretty much any outside receiver will have to do. So does Rome, obviously. There’s basically nothing Rome doesn’t do well, and he has elite physical tools and character to boot. Fuck we were so fortunate to have him, what a fun past few seasons even with the sour ending.

yeah, a lot of projections of Rome to the Bears. The only NFL franchise who has never had a 4000 yard passer. I guess Caleb will chuck the ball around but as it stands Jay Cutler is the best passer that franchise has ever had.

Reggie Williams was better than both.

The argument for Reggie was how dominant he could be. 01 Apple Cup, 02 Arizona, Oregon, and Apple Cup were games where he simply couldn't be stopped. It was also at at time where offensive schemes weren't what they are now and you had to straight up beat number one corners more often than now, like Marcus Trufant. Forgot how big of a game he had in his first ever college game against Michigan. Pretty special.
