Do players typically find themselves under used on the collegiate level if they're truly one of the elite talents at their position? I understand Maryland's quarterback situation hasn't been great, but if you have a top ten NFL player on your roster, I think you make sure he gets more than 57 touches in a season.
DHB basically averaged three catches a game and had only one 100-yard contest in 2008, and he needed double-digit receptions in that game to achieve that. In fact, in 38 games at Maryland, he's had only four games in which he went for over 100-yards receiving. He was not among college football's top 100 players in terms of receptions per game, receiving yards per game, or total yards from scrimmage per game this year. He ranked 98th in yards per catch average.
I'm struggling to find a logical argument that DHB was worthy of this selection, and that it wasn't an "Al Davis loves speed" pick, even though apparently he doesn't draft for speed. :laugh:
