A change did Beavers good

[scpanther22]

seems cocky to me...thats not always a bad thing for a WR but coming for D3and being as small as he is..IDK

It would seem impossible to expect Beavers to generate those kinds of gaudy numbers as a professional; even Chicago's All-Pro Devin Hester scored on 8.7 percent of his returns during his breakthrough rookie season in 2006, a season that is the recent standard-bearer for NFL returners.

But he feels that his skills on returns will bridge the massive gap between Division III and the NFL.

"The numbers don't lie at all," he said with confidence.

I like cocky in players but I feel the NFL will give him a "Welcome to the NFL Rookie" hit early on. Most guys on the field run a 4.5 game speed. JMO

His arrogance will be his shortcomming. Don't expect him to make the team. Fox has never been one for arrogant players, nor will Smith take him under his wings.

I see it as a spout of confidence. Would you really want someone on the team saying "Yeah my numbers wont be close to that." Or something along those lines? That'd sound to me like he's throwing in the towel and expecting to be cut without much effort put in to try and stay.

I think Beavers would be much faster and much more appealing to Fox if he shaved all his hair off. Also, a bald Beavers would have an easier time catching deep balls.

Yeah, I take it more as confidence than arrogance. Not to slight Mark Jones, who was our best returner since Smith, but if someone with Jones' speed can do what he did last year, what do you think Beavers could do?

LOL! I thought the same thing, thinking it couldn't be accidental.

But it was his work on special teams that drew NFL attention, particularly in a senior season last fall that saw him score on eight of his 30 total returns -- an incredible 26.7 percent of his runbacks.

Beavers' gaudy averages last year -- 39.5 per kickoff return; 29.2 per punt return -- ensured that someone, somewhere would notice and bring him into an NFL camp

Just thought I would post the part of the article which tells some of his stats from college. The NFL is different but skills is skills

Yes as a Gamecock fan I've been waiting my whole life for that iconic match up South Carolina Vs Oregon State

The Cocks vs The Beavers

Already played the Trojans.

I thought change could lead to yeast infections for beavers...could be wrong though.

Beavers will be fine. He just needs to make sure he showers and scrubs after practice to wash all the sweat and funk off. A hot and smelly Beavers is not good during press conferences.
