it would surprise me - i think you're really underestimating hollywood... duvernay's fast but hollywood's the kind of fast and sudden that makes defenders go funny - he's also much better at the LoS getting off press and using his releases

he also had to play at 157 last year because of the screws in his foot - he's probably gonna be 170-175 this year and as he has said himself - last year the aim was to catch the ball and get down - next year it'll be catch the ball and take it to the house much like it was at oklahoma for him

duvernay's more physical and has some similar tools but there's a reason duvernay is a 3rd rounder and hollywood was taken in round 1 despite being injured and having screws in his foot

I completely agree with you. But can you explain why the screws had to make him play lighter?

Can’t train the same. Too much muscle will fuck up flexibility if you can’t train your lower body the way you typically would. And most importantly just take strain off of your foot or you won’t be changing direction at all

Damn. Hollywood is gonna be a monster next year. Because in all honesty, even if Hollywood didn't improve at all (we're all expecting big improvements), just another year working on timing with Lamar and Lamar getting better is already going to be so good for the two of them. If Hollywood gets even better and makes those opportunities even easier for Lamar, we're gonna be cooking

Hollywood was also forced to push off with his 3 middle toes last year also. He was good last year, he's going to have a huge jump this year and he's putting in the work also.

i just think we're going to see, if nothing else, a markedly more explosive player which is ridiculous to think about given how he was already drawing attention because of his speed and explosion last year

i think hollywood brown is going to be unstoppable this year. I don't think the NFL is ready for him

He's a good weight now. Looks explosive as can be from the video im watching. Epic, world class twisting and turning, agility. great hands and routes

He's going to be a number 1 WR.

I don't think anyone can question Brown's speed, talent, etc., definitely has the potential to be one of the best. The obvious question is can he stay healthy.

the game?
Edit, never mind. SeatGeek fucked me royally. After the card was charged for the tickets(with a $126 service fee btw) they said tickets unavailable and canceled it and said THREE FUCKING WEEKS for a refund. I told those pieces of shit to give me a fucking credit to replace the tickets or they can fuck off and I’ll buy elsewhere after I’m refunded. That’s bullshit, completely unacceptable, who the fuck do they think they are
