He could be like Smith in Carolina. Always a pro-bowler. He was considered slow and short with good hands and quickness. Look how he turned out. You can't measure heart.

 

Wow, apparently speed is so deceptive...I watch his video's and like Smith himself, I swear they are football fast.....

 

If Bess turns out like Smith, we would all be wearing his jerseys.

 

I'd be happy if Bess turned out to be our new Wes Welker.

 

Thanks Anthony, good info to read. Bess would be a great pickup for us if he turned into another Welker, we need a few of those stories/pickups to go our way for a change. BTW anyone know what Bess' time is in the 40? I have watched videos on him and he sure can catch the ball, and knows how to get loose from a defender. :up:

 

good read

 

Every 7th catch goes for a TD and with 293 catches he didn't fumble; Not Once! Love the stats!:up::wink2:

 

I like what I have been reading about this kid Bess..

He seems like a find but t-c will substantiate if this guy is the real deal or just a wanabe fluff ...

Good info bro

 

Bess = Welker 2.0?
New and Improved?

 

Good read, thanks.

 

Don't mention that name again unless it is to pour dirt on it! :no::lol:

 

Smith was never considered slow

 

That's probably about as slow as Smith would run the 40. His combine 40 time was about 4.31. Bess could only dream of running like Smith.

 

According to www.nfldraftscout.com he ran a 4.64 at the combine and 4.6 at his pro day

 

BTW, if we do have a WR on the roster, other than Ginn, who can run like Steve Smith, it is Jayson Foster, not Davone Bess.

 

What worries me is that every year there is a WR that is "the next big thing" who rarely even makes the team.

Not to be a party pooper but fool me once shame on you, fool me the last 6 years...shame on me.

 

Exactly, and we have been here before, unknown Wr catching eyes in the offseason..

As long as Devone can catch the ball and knows where the first down marker is, he could stick, but catching the ball and finding the first down markers in traffic is a NFL skill, much more so then raw speed.

We''ll see soon enough, TC Reporters will be able to give a no B$ assesment of Bess's ability to create seperation from a defender...I cannot wait until TC finally opens.....:up:

 

I heard Bess is a Mormon....we should not have to worry about any characters issues with him.

 

This bears repeating, 293 reception w/o a fumble. The other thing not mentioned is how intelligent of a football player he is and the skill he has in reading Defenses and DB's. HI ran a read and react system that required the reciever to run his route based on the allignment of the defender.

 

I'm not worried about his 40 time not being that good, he has a knack for getting open, and an even better knack for catching the ball. Jerry Rice wasn't exactly a speed burner and he turned out pretty good (understatement of the century).
