Gunner

Great special teams weapon and would be an Antoine Randle El type of guy on end arounds, WR screens, or swing plays.

Isn't this why they drafted Eskridge last year?

With him and the other wr wr just drafted it's like mini lockette and Metcalf lol

I liked those highlights. Some of his routes, he reminded me a little of Baldwin in getting separation.

 

[MyrtleHawk]

Ohhhhh man, in the middle of watching this video and gotta comment on some timestamps...

0:45 - Reminded me of Baldwin, followed by the field awareness to toe-touch in the endzone right before the catch reminded me of Lockett
1:42 - NICE end-around with good reflexes and ball awareness since it wasn't such an accurate toss, very speedy to finish it
2:17 - good adjustment
3:04 - Triple Coverage and still is able to high-point the ball and run away with it. I know we won't likely see that on a pro level defense, but it was nice nonethless
4:20 - Look at that speed. Nobody was even close to catching him.

I'll stop there, you get the point. I'm excited about this pick, and am really pushing for him to succeed. Welcome to the Hawks!

Seriously fast dude. Seems to have good hands, good vision after the catch.

 

[Ruminator]

I have the feeling we'll be seeing a lot of Melton as a WR starting the 2023 season. What a draft this has been!

 

[sutz]

Well he does basically have ADB's size comp.

Looks like he's a bit faster than Doug, which could be a good thing.
