WR Texas A&M
It was actually real close who my new favorite college football player was going to be, it was between him and Damore'ea Stringfellow WR from Wachington.
Bob and I used to do this thing when it was signing day we would pick a prospect outside of the top 50 and hitch our wagons to him. I think I only did it for 3 years with E.J. Manuel, DeAndre Brown (Ugh) and Rueben Randle, Bob only did it once with DeAnthony Thomas (Who?).
Anyways back to Ricky, his scouting report says:
Seals-Jones is a mammoth prospect and has great size/speed combination along with excellent overall athleticism. He has very intriguing measurables with plenty of room to grow. Sees a lot of time as a QB and is a scary run threat from the backfield. He has the quickness to get off the line, but can rely on finesse at times and not be physical enough on the outside. He should dominate against press but plays high and exposes his chest. He needs to develop a physical presence on releases to match his natural quickness and measurables. He adjusts his body well running routes against faster, smaller DBs and is a mismatch in the red zone. He does a nice job in jump ball situations on offense and you do see him cradle the high ball at times gaining position and timing jumps. He can pluck the ball at the high point and on the move with the focus and strength to haul in passes thrown outside of his frame. Has good ball skills and attacks the ball in a crowd. Has the tools to stretch the inside of the defense on deep vertical routes and could become a very competent player at all three levels of the passing game. As a route runner, Seals-Jones plays high and it affects his ability to transition in and out of cuts on shorter routes. He has suddenness for his size and a wide wingspan to create separation on short routes. His speed will give him a mismatch inside, especially as a vertical threat. A smooth runner after the catch, he is at his best when he gets going north/south. He is a galloper who is a load in the open field. Seals-Jones has a good stop/start for his size, but at times runs too high to break tackles. Shows surprising elusiveness and explosiveness for a player of his size. Primarily aligning as an outside receiver, Seals-Jones has also played as a Wildcat QB and designated runner and will surprise you in this role. He must develop a mentality as a blocker and plays high and lacks physical play at times, however. This is a player with terrific natural tools who is still learning the little nuances of the game. He would be able to line up at multiple spots and create mismatches within a game plan. He possesses a great frame and athletic ability to progress into a flex H/WR prospect, if not a true tight end at some point if he continues to grow and mature. Seals-Jones has a huge ceiling for development. He is a playmaker who will only get better and is an excellent prospect.
So that's what ESPN had to say about him after reading that and looking at a number of pictures of him. I noticed he has 3 names, is 6-5, used to play QB and now shifting to WR, he looks extremely mean, and he will play (if not red shirted) with Johnny Football for another 2 years, so if he proves himself he will be a pass catching threat for sure. Not only will RSJ be the top WR in college football in a couple few years, but I would put my money on him being in the Heisman discussion and ultimately being a top pick in the NFL. There is nothing not to like about this kid, big, strong, fast and will be a perfect WR in the SEC that outside a coouple schools has became more explosive offensively with the addition of Texas A&M and Mizzou.
So Ricky, don't let me down, we have greatness to catch.
