He was really good as a freshman on special teams and got off to a great start at Texas his sophomore year with the OT TD catch on the screen. I thought he was going to have a really nice career here.
Crazy what an accurate QB can do for pass-catchers
have continually declined since the switch was made. I want to say there were still a few in Book's first couple of games. I think the trust in an accurate throw has all but eliminated drops of easy catches.
First, he's only 5'8, 185 lbs. I suspect he reached his ceiling faster than a lot of other players, so while he was more college ready right of the gate, other players with more physical tools quickly passed him as they adjusted to the college game. Second, somewhere along the way, he got the yips on punt returns, which neutralized one of his most valuable skills.
