And I did that myself... Tutu does not 'appear' fast to me. However, I do not doubt that he is... too many knowledgeable people in the know who readily agree that he IS fast... I accept that.
So for those who recently doubted his speed, (that's fair, not saying it isn't), does the overwhelming agreement among coaches and media that he's a speed burner make you question your personal perception?
I can see his speed but that doesn't make him a deep threat. He can flat out run I don't doubt that at all. But his size is also a major hindrance in his ability to make plays on deep balls. He has to be more open than most receivers in order to secure catches. Doesn't mean he can't make those catches it just going to be more difficult. I don't like they way he runs routes they look lazy and rounded. He doesn't have that shiftiness you would expect from a small speedster. He relies on his speed to much and not crafty route running or deception with routes and is going to run into problems with the ultra athletic NFL. If he can improve on his route tree like a van Jefferson cooper kupp he will be that much harder to cover.
