Tavon Austin: an example of a player who has been overrated for much of his career because of his blistering speed.
Cooper Kupp: an example of a player who (I think) was underrated in part because of his lackluster 40 time.
Jason Witten: an example of a player who understands how to win without speed

Short and sweet, yet very profound, ramble.

One of my favorite receiver themes, in fact.

The three biggest assets of a receiver?

Hands
Getting separation (routes, etc)
Speed

And in that order. IMO.

My point? If a receiver doesn't have the first two, the third really doesn't much matter, other than some decoy value.

Myself? I have a real soft spot in my heart for a receiver with good hands. So fundamental yet so important.

That explains my enthusiasm for Spruce's chances. Great, great hands.
