    I didn't know Kasen was already cut by the Bengals for failing his physical. The foot/ankle injury is looking like it was career ending.

    Kasen's strides were way too huge - reminded me of someone about to triple-jump...his ability to change direction instantly was always limited. + with his slowness, I never thought he would get very far in the NFL, even before the injury.

    He probably didn't have the quickness to thrive, but he was absolutely an NFL player his sophomore and junior year. When he was a freshman, he was at times the best WR on the team, even when they had Kearse, Aguilar, and Johnson. He was the only player on the entire offense that did anything against Oregon in 2011.

    Kasen really fucked up by not redshirting last year. He maybe should have thought about graduating and transferring considering the QB and OL situation at UW.

    He was never anything more than a fringe NFL talent at best.

    He should have bulked up and played TE.

    Pre-injury, I thought KW could've been a #4 or #5 in the NFL.

    Ideally, he lands on a practice squad somewhere and then competes for a roster spot in 2016 after he's 2 years removed from his injury.

    What part of he probably didn't have the quickness to thrive didn't you understand?

    He was considered an NFL talent before the injury and was listed on top 100 lists before the season.

    Kearse is a 3 or 4 on a team that is a predominantly passing offense.

    We all see who is still buying into 2009 Doogman recruiting hype.

    He's not an inch over 6'1".

    Kasen didn't need quickness to thrive. He's a go up and get the ball receiver who can get yards after the catch. Just watch his highlights before the injury. He was an NFL receiver no doubt. He had plenty of attributes to be an NFL WR. Speed and separation is not mandatory to be a pro WR.

    Honestly, its very sad what happened. He was an NFL talent and the injury killed his career. I only hope for his sake he can keep rehabbing and battling to try and make it.

    You don't have to be quick to be an NFL receiver but you need tob e able to get open. Kasen's inability to get open was going to keep him from ever being anything in the NFL, even before the injury.

    Yes and no. Reggie couldn't get open versus NFL corners, but he was a first round pick.

    I think Kasen was on a similar trajectory, pre-injury: His strength, hops, and collegiate productivity would have inflated his draft stock and made him a bunch of money. But his inability to get open would have kept his NFL career short.

    Basically, Reggie minus the coke habit.

    Fair enough. Rob Rang was on crack if that's even close to true.

    Ruth took those extra three inches consensually.
