- The 2014 group of WRs had a lot of potential, but pretty much all of them became busts and flamed out, so why were they so bad?

What topic should I do next?
USC is better than LSU and Oregon and UCLA and washington state and Michigan
Discuss how terrible the NFL Draft will be next year at the QB position! Might be the worst one ever at the position!
@Samuel Wells it’s so bad, NFL scouts are murmuring whether a QB should even be taken in the first round. Would be the first draft since ‘96 where a QB wasn’t taken in the first 32 picks.
It’s really that bad.
Most 'Electric Players' this season!
@@sinatraswinery5926
This may be the worse Draft in-general ever, every position is WEAK
what’s ironic, is that the 2014 COLLEGE wide receiver class was actually historically GOOD, with Sammy watkins, odell, mike evans, brandin cooks, davante adams, allen robinson, jarvis landry, and kelvin benjamin highlighting it
Wow I forget how stacked the 2014 wr class was. All these guys have had insane success in the nfl even kelvin Benjamin although he wasn’t very consistent
If kelvin put in the work he probably would have been one of the best panthers receivers ever
So was this list top ten not drafted 1st rd?
@@Tjdav101 I know at least Adams was drafted in the second
@@Tjdav101 this list is the 2014 high school top wr recruits, the original comment was referencing the 2014 wr draft class
As an LSU fan Malachi Dupre had his moments to where he looked like he could’ve been a really damn good receiver but unfortunately he was stuck in the twilight years of the Les Miles era
Yeah no qb worth a damn but having Fournette and Guice means you have to pound the rock
Ah, the Les Miles era
I’m hoping he gets another shot somewhere preferably the Bengals lol maybe on the PS or depth guy. But if not the NFL then maybe the upcoming XFL.
@@ScottFisherCFB yes, the era that won a title in 2007, played for the title in 2011, and provided several of the recruits which won the 2019 title. Not a coicidence that with Les' recruits phased out of the program through graduation, draft declaration, etc. Ed O has been exposed for what he's been his whole career, mediocre.
@@deanbenford7363 les miles literally did the exact same thing won a championship then fizzled out just like coach O
Brief stint ? Cam Sims is STILL with the redskins and he actually had a better 2020 season than Lazard did with 477 receiving yards to Lazard’s 451
I was about to comment this. He was our WR2 last year he’s done well above expectations. Also shoutout the original name httr
He really didnt have a better season tho, more yards less touchdowns and he played more games than lazard plus he had a lower catch rate
@@IcyTorments why didn’t you mention targets and catches since you’re breaking everything down to prove a point…don’t leave nothing out
@@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 more TD in less games seems to speak for itself TBH
@@tygerfinch targets ? Catches ? Nah that wouldn’t fit your narrative and I don’t even k is what the hell it is …your reluctance to post it says a lot though
I always liked Johnnie Dixon, he was really fast and had good hands. He was a little undersized but he was so quick. Shame he never made it in the NFL, he was clutch. Made a lot of critical catches for the buckeyes. He would make a good video
i need to do one!
He had a big td in the Penn state game back in 2017
Yea urban meyar loved him but said it was a shame his body couldn’t handle stress of the game
Chronic knee issues early in his Buckeyes career ruined what was supposed to be a star (based on talent expectations and ideal fit in Urban Meyer’s offensive scheme) college career. I’m just happy he didn’t decide to call it quits prior to his junior year and ended up being a fantastic rotation receiver in that group WR with Parris Campbell, Terry McLaurin, KJ Hill, Bin Victor, & Austin Mack. I’ll always remember that Penn St comeback game in the Shoe when JD caught 2 TDs
I’m pretty sure he is on the cowboys
What many miss in Allen Lazard's game is his blocking ability. He's one of the better blocking wideouts on the Packers squad. Plus earlier this season he went to coaches at halftime of a game where they had a special teams blunder and asked what he could do to help on special teams. Really good dude he is.
Top 10 2014 WR's
#10 Cam Sims - Alabama
#9 Allen Lazard - Iowa State
#8 Justin Brents - Notre Dame
#7 Johnnie Dixon - Ohio State
#6 Josh Malone - Tennessee
#5 K.D. Cannon - Baylor
#4 Ermon Lane - Florida State
#3 Malachi Dupre - LSU
#2 Travis Rudolph - Florida State
#1 Speedy Noil - Texas A&M
Some real high expectations that alot of us were wrong about.
The fact Lazard is the only one still playing in the NFL and is somewhat successful is insane
@@Vincent-qq2st sims is playing
Why 3 where undrafted maybe more
Probably he has a rod
Shame most of these kids get a free ride and either take basket weaving or never graduate thinking they will play professionally and end up in bad situations
Yea if I'm not a sure shot to land on a roster, I'm finishing my education. And they should take sport related courses to still be involved in the game later on.
@@dozhadeville444 Exactly! These kids need to be encouraged to get their degree and really only consider leaving if they're getting a couple million in signing bonus. While I understand it's hard to pass up that contract, it's a lot worse to end up a bust and with nothing to fall back on. For the vast majority, playing pro ball ends up being a very short time period in their lives. I think the NFL needs to be looked at as an opportunity and not as something that's inevitable.
ok boomer
That’s why a majority go back to college after they’re career ends .. Jr smith for instance .. after retirement went to an HBCU to finish multiple degrees
When these kids are in college the school really don’t care about the grades .. they care more about what the players can bring the school ($$$) I bet you the star players get passes for having low grades .. which is why back to my original comment most go back after there career ends
The funny thing is Allen Lazard turned out to be the best receiver out of that class.
In the top 10 at least yeah
The funnier thing is that he’s only good because of Aaron rodgers
That’s cap. Terry and Chris Godwin and mark andrews was in that class too just not in the top 10
@@wrgly6714 I mean wouldn't you want to have a quarterback like that to help you develop as a wide receiver?
@@nolimitdamee 2014 recruiting class
Dupre had a major problems that was on him, but also on LSU
WR coaching after Landry and Beckham left (our long time WR coach went to the NFL) plummeted. During this time (before LSU got Jefferson, Chase, and Marshall), LSU kept signing a ton of WRs and their classes looked good on paper because of the stars, but it was inflated because most were WRs. Anyway we had a bunch of athletes, not true WRs which meant a lot would be hit and Miss. Funny thing is two of the lowest rated guys were the best WRs of that group. Both were drafted (Chark and Gage), and both are doing well in the NFL.
Back to Dupre, he was in the era of horrific QB play and decided to declare for the draft instead of transferring and figuring it out himself. Honestly though, his talent had peaked. The guy was physically weak. He'd get nudged out of bounds a lot on boundary routes and wouldn't fight for the ball in 50/50 spots. If you've watched LSU, all the great WRs have had that dog mentality. They fight for the ball, they are aggressive, they block aggressively, they attack the ball in the air, etc. Dupre didn't have any of that. It was no point in coming back because he was missing something that you either have or you don't.
We were soooo excited for Speedy Noil unfortunately due to off the field issues, simply under preforming and *Kevin Sumlin* it didn’t work out
Speedy Noil actually had a pretty solid freshman year at A&M
Christian Kirk came the next season and outshined him
Never recovered after that, thought he was going to be something special
Speedy noil was a gimmick
Never trust anyone who highlight tape is mostly bubble screens
@@stephonwilliams5232 I agree
But he had solid catches/games at A&M
I’m an A&M fan and I specifically remember what he did his freshman season
Once Christian Kirk came he wasn’t the guy anymore
Josh Malone was born in Chattanooga but played at Station Camp high school which is in Gallatin near Nashville
Johnnie dixon may not have been a star but he was super underrated and will go down a legend after the comeback in the 2017 PSU game
Fax, I was at that game n OSU does not beat PSU in 2017 without him
Malone grew up in gallatin, tn and went to station camp high school
you should do a best ever NFL player at every position that was a walk on in college”
Gotta love Allen Lazard the Alien Lizard!
He's a Beast
Allen Lazard I’m pretty sure hold all the records for receiving at Iowa state and then just didn’t get drafted and had to deal with Blake Bortles but now he got A Rod and is the best blocking wide receiver in the league possible.
Lol according to 24/7’s Rankings, the Top 3 WR’s who had the best career NFL wise are:
1. Someone who was converted to TE (Mark Andrews)
2. Someone who was converted to CB (JC Jackson)
3. Is one of the Top WRs today and is a teammate of one of the players in the video (Terry McLaurin)
I think he’s going off of receivers who stayed a receiver and was ranked the highest with the most expectations
Josh Malone was actually pretty solid.
I really thought you meant the 2014 NFL Draft WR class for a second, and I only clicked on this video because I thought it was satire. It was really interesting though, lol
Thank you for saying Nevada right! Always appreciate people who do that! Great video man
Josh Malone didn’t grow up in Chattanooga lmao. He went to our rival school station camp which is between Hendersonville and gallatin. Mid tn > East tn
Allen Lazard is NOT a bust, not even close.
As a packers fan, Allen Lazard is a fan favorite. Very physical player and great blocker
I peeped this video because I saw Josh Malone in it and was like "Hey I went to school with that dude" but he absolutely didn't play HS ball in Chatt! He played at Station Camp which is in Gallatin near Nashville haha.
Great video to watch though!
I’m really good friends with Speedy , great and genuine guy who was a young kid who had a lot of attention on him
I remember thinking Dupree was the second coming after that senior bowl🤣
I know this isn’t a big deal, but I appreciate someone who calls them the redskins when they were the redskins and then the football team when they were the football team. Idk why so many people are scared to do that. Anyway you got a sub man good content
Rudolph had the face of a 13-year NFL vet already...
as an OSU fan Dixon just came in at a very bad time, ohio state started to load up at WR and got lost in the mix.
malachi dupre was underutilized in a les miles offense that was notoriously bad at utilizing it’s insane reciever talent. this dude had odell and jarvis and neither of them went over 1k yards (if i remember correctly )
As an LSU fan I always thought Dupre wouldve found a role in the NFL
The 2010 and 2013 QB classes were also very dissapointing.
While the top 15 are very bad, both chris godwin and terry mclaurin came from this class
Speedy Noil also had injury issues when he was at A&M. He also wasn't supposed to be the guy at A&M. I think at that point A&M josh reynolds and ricky seals-jones both of who are currently playing in the NFL. On top of the fact that Sumlin couldn't keep a starting QB for a full season at that point. An indeptg speedy noil video would be cool because A&M under Sumlin post-manziel was a mess
I thought this said the 2014 NFL draft wide receivers and I was about to be confused why it was so bad. It's one of the best draft classes
First video I’ve ever seen of yours and I enjoyed it. I would just say use highlights or lowlights if these players instead of just pictures.
Glad you enjoyed it! And I can’t use highlights cuz of copyright
A lot of the best guys from that class weren’t super highly recruited: Chris Godwin, Terry McLaurin, James Washington, Deebo Samuel, TreQuan Smith, etc.
As an Alabama fan Cam sims was a beast for us
Dude no he wasn’t. He got no PT in 2014 despite Cooper being our only consistent receiving threat that year (when Deandrew White wasn’t hurt), he did nothing in 2015 or 2016, and in 2017 when he actually got PT he (and Robert Foster) was stealing it from WRs who were already better than him as true freshman (Jeudy, Ruggs, and Heisman).
Cam Sims existed on the team and not much else
Im from west palm beach and never heard of jonnie dixion but which is crazy because any nfl or nba player from out city everyone knows about them like lamar, anquan, and even bad ones like jacoby brisset
Dixon went to Dwyer like Jacoby and won the 2013 state champ w the Panthers but he just had a lotta injuries that kept him off the field. If he could handle the hits bro would’ve been ELITE
Thought for sure KD Cannon was going to take off...seen Dude run a 10.2 in high school and beast at the collegiate level...u just never know
Another banger, thanks for the content!
Glad you enjoy it!
Cam Sims was the tallest receiver Washington has had in a long ass time
As a Tennessee fan I really miss Josh Malone
all the good ones went off in the draft lol
Cam sims is still in the nfl. Hes a solid player
Speedy Noil. Wow totally forgot about that guy
Wow a trip down memory lane
Everything you said about Cam Sims is wrong. He is the greatest WR of all-time and I will not stand for this disrespect
Lazard is a solid WR, buy the fact that he is the best receiver on this list just shows how weak this class was
U should do a vid on how the big ten needs to readjust the divisions
At least KD got to race Kevin Hart, that's a highlight in my book 😅
I think the styles of offenses contributed to some of these guys being a bust. The way offenses pass now they would benefit a lot from it. The best receiver on this list came from a “passing conference” the big 12
Speedy Noil played in a spread pass heavy offense. Dude just wasn’t good tbh.
You are Great at telling stories, what about Hendon Hooker at Tennessee
I find it odd how you completely left out cam sims explosion in the playoffs last year against tampa
Lazard isn’t battle injury. He’s just in the Covid list
Corey Coleman would make a good what happened.... As a Baylor fan I had all the hope in the world for him ... Just never panned out
Got a question: How is a guy who made a real impact on the best Tennessee team in a decade, and then was good enough to get drafted after his Junior year a bust? Just doesn’t make sense to me.
Cannon was a beast at Baylor. Curious to me that he hasn't been given more of an opportunity.
Hmmm maybe he hasn't earned the opportunity
KD is from the next town over from me, great talent but I don't think he was mature enough yet. He had like 3 kids by the time he was at Baylor and apparently had character issues. He still hangs out with some people in town, but they're not the best crowd to be involved with, so I can see why he flamed out. He shouldn't have left college early.
Cam Sims got a TD today
Juju wasn’t a top ten receiver in the 2014 class?
Do the 2013 Defensive end class
Have a great day God love y’all
My guy said Dixon caught 1 pass as a freshman, then his role expanded and he caught 6 passes his sophomore year 😂🤣😂🤣
I mean I guess his role did actually "expand"
Josh Malone played well for the bungles and is now on the jets. Go Steelers and Vols
The closer captions do not match the video
Song in the video???
Oh there's no saving that dumpster fire in Knoxville lol.
Terry and chris Godwin definitely were 2 of the best from this class (if they were on the list)
Yea and Deebo Samuel, DJ Chark, and Michael Gallup
Bruh Odell Beckham and Mike Evans were this draft class
no they were in the nfl draft class coming out of college, this is players going into college from high school
Sad to think Josh Malone most important play was when Ryan Shazier injured himself tackling him
11:20 he went viral for sitting with the lonely kid in the school cafeteria
I decided who was in the 2014 class that wasn't in the top 10 and found terry mclaurin in the 20s
yup, he was #22 i believe
Honestly i only remember Rudolph for sitting with that bullied kid at lunch
Lazard is very very underrated
This video was 🔥
You gotta specify high school. I thought this was a parody video for a second because the 2014 WR class might be the best of all time.
What happened to Justin Brent, seems like a good video
I feel personally attacked as a wr from the 2014 class
He in the nfl now can sims
One, it's the Washington Football Team, Two, Cam Sims is STILL with the team
What happened to AJ Johnson from the Vols crazy story with a happy ending
Aww man speedy noil was supposed to be THAT GUY. I remember all the hype
Tennessee’s miracle season? We lost 4 games that year 😂 we did get to beat Georgia and Florida and if you’re younger you don’t get to see that often.
In this recruiting class there was a guy named COOPER KUPP that is currently tearing up the NFL he was signed by FCS POWER EASTERN WASHINGTON as a frosh he broke a record for touchdowns(21) held by Randy Moss and he won the Jerry Rice Award for Frosh Of Impact.
Wasn’t Hunter Renfrow in this class??
as a bama fan and skins fan Cam sims was trash at bama but has been a decent role player for Washington
Raider nation
This is the 2018 draft class
Were going to start seeing this with QB rookie classes moving forward, because of franchises placing insane expectations on young qbs and being willing to move on quickly from them, with other young, underprepared qbs, that were also drafted way too early. Everyone is so desperate for their guy, they are wasting 1st and 2nds, reaching on guys that should otherwise be Rd 4-6 type guys. Another prime example, is the Jags bailing on Minshew, who despite his deficiencies, has played like Rd1 guy out of the gate, for a guy who has not. Look at the run on QBs this past draft at the end of round 2 and round 3, "experts" were immediately hyping Kellen Mond as the future, despite having (obviously) not actually seen him play much. I see this trend getting worse moving forward.
The dislikes are from WR of the 2014 class. Understandable.
cam sims is dirty bro wym 😭
Digging this channel
Loved me some Josh Malone
Johnnie Dixon is a legend
11:26 Facts 2 and 3 are…not very fun 🥴
wait you mean 2018?? 2014 was one of the best receiver draft classes in recent history
Wdym brief stit with Washington he's still on the team lol
More college basketball videos coming this season?
