[Video] Ted Ginn.. the forgotten WR

Hes nice and cares about getting his daughter to bedon time

One clip in that video I really like is in the Saints game in New Orleans. 

Ginn puts his head down and takes off.  Gives a signal without pulling his head up and flies by the defender. Cam drops the pass on the money and Ginn cruises in for the TD.

He definitely exceeded my expectations this year. That Super Bowl beeline out of bounds haunts me to this day however smh.

Amazing reel btw

Only player in NFL who runs out of bounds multiple times in a highlight reel.

But hey, you can't fumble that way. 

Ted Ginn Jr. weighs 185 lbs soaking wet.

Speed is his game, not physicality.  Unless, of course, you prefer our main speed threat standing on the sideline with a separated shoulder or broken collarbone.

He's no dummy. Running out of bounds puts him in position for the next play instead of putting him in concussion protocol.

OK, but I guess I got used to seeing this from our undersized speed receiver:

So you're telling me that you can't understand the difference between 5-11/185 and 5-9/195 right?

I really think that if Ginn had better hands he would be considered one of the better receivers in the league. He isn't a crisp as Brown or Beckham but he is much faster and in long routes he gets away from guys without being as crisp. Really loved when the Panthers got him in 2013 and again in 2015.

I remember one of the all time leading rusher, Emmitt Smith routinely ran out of bounds when he was close to the sidelines. It was a big reason he lasted as long as he did and become the all-time leader rusher. He avoided unnecessary contact. Compare that to backs like Earl Campbell who sought out contact and had a short career due to the pounding he took.

As for receivers that avoided contact, Jerry Rice typically avoided contact and went down when collisions were inevitable. Seemed to work out for him...

Yeah.  I was rushing to get to an Eagle Scout ceremony and rushed the post.

Ginn ran out of bounds in the superbowl. THE SUPERBOWL.

That seals it then.  The reason we lost was because Ginn ran out of bounds.  Was that at the end of the 45 yard catch?
