I don't know much about him, but from his build, measurements, and combine numbers, he seems eerily similar to Smitty.

His college numbers seem pretty average, but obviously no one was overly impressed with Smitty prior to us taking him.

The idea of drafting a WR early has been kicked around in the forum several times, but honestly, it's fairly illogical. Our top needs IMO, are all defense. DL, LB, CB, and maybe even S (Competition for Martin).

This guy measures out almost number for number exactly like Smitty, has a 43.5 inch vertical and had the best 20-yard shuttle of all wideouts. His scouting profile says his quickness is ridiculous and despite his great speed, he rarely used it to stretch the field, instead, he used his quickness and precise route running to catch in intermediate and short routes.

Smitty is getting up there, and this guy seems to have all the tools to grow into that role (a small, fast, and quick guy that goes up and gets it). Now, I don't know about his strength, but taking all of this into consideration, I think this would be a logical choice in the mid-late rounds.

Anyone else know more about him? Watch him much?

Don't know much about him but from looking at Combine he is very fast and very strong for a receiver. Could have big impact on special teams and may even be a surprise and crack the lineup as a receiver

Is there a particular reason we have to go get a Smitty clone and hope he succeeds? Smitty and Welker are anomolies at the WR position in terms of their consistent production vs size. I think if the Panthers are targeting someone to groom as a #1 they would probably look at the prototypical receiver and go from there. Not saying this guy will not be good or great, I just would not jump at trying to create Smitty 2.0.

No doubt.

I just thought the height/weight and athleticism combo was intriguing. The 43" vert really stood out to me and his build is almost identical to Smitty's coming out. So, naturally, I thought of a small guy going up after the ball...

What I wanted to put in the OP but didn't is, while this is a cool comparison to make and think about, chances of finding another Smitty are pretty slim. Why? Because what really made Smitty so great is his passion and drive for the game. There are plenty of 5'10", 175 guys in America that can put up similar numbers in a combine, but very few are making a living in the NFL, let alone dominating it.

You can't measure heart, and Smitty has ton of it... But, being a guy of similar build, I always pull for these type guys.

That being said, I wouldn't mind Stephen Hill whatsoever if he's there after the 2nd lol.

We should look at Devon Wylie. Instead of Smitty 2.0, we would have White Smitty. Seriously, his numbers in college at Fresno are very similar to Smitty. His 40 time, his size, etc. Since he is white, has drawn comparisions to Wes Welker, but on paper, he is Smitheau Blonde.

Ah. I see. Its the "Draft the Fastest White Guy Strategy"

Cant see any reason why this wouldn't work...

I went to high school with em in Burlington Nj. He's heavily under rated. Im pulling for em. A good guy too.

Tongue in cheek. I like Wylie, but I hope you could see that I was not serious.
