Dustin Keller, Purdue

Lets compair numbers
Davis-62 rec,881 yards,8 tds
Keller-68 rec,881 yards,7 tds
Davis is the best pass catcher at the tight end position.He was a wide recier in high school and runs great routes.He has good speed and has the body size to compete in the NFL at 6'4 258 pounds,which gives him a sizable adventage over Keller.Plus Keller is not that fast so hes not going to be able to compete well with NFL linebackers.Even though Davis may not be a great blocker he is still the better player and will be a good player in the NFL

You realize Keller was also a WR in high school too, right?
Are you just pulling things out of your *** now? Keller doesn't have speed? Excuse me, who's the man who had the fastest 40 at the combine? Oh yeah, Keller with a 4.55, and some timed him at 4.49.
I know the combine should be taken with a grain of salt, but Keller was the fastest TE, had the highest vertical, the farthest broad jump, was 2nd in Bench Press reps (had 2 more than Davis), the 2nd best 3-Cone Drill, the best 20-yard shuttle, and the 4th best 60 yard shuttle.
Also, those numbers lie. Davis was without a doubt USC's #1 receiving threat this year. Keller wasn't.
Also, it's not like Keller is tiny. 6'2" 242 pounds isn't bad at all.
In fact, some predictions have Keller moving back to WR in the NFL. Davis? Not at all.

Whoops, haha

I wouldn't say AWFUL, but given Purdue's system he wasn't required to block a whole hell of a lot

Report Offensive CommentAmong the top rated TEs, he's still one of the worst.

Okay, maybe not, but Texas is one of my favorite schools, so I had to say him.
Big M... | 03/09/08, 09:38 PM
Report Offensive CommentVernon Davis wasn't known for his blocking.
Hell, I remember when the NFL Network was highlighting the 49ers training camp two years ago and their TE coach started to have a fit because Davis didn't know the blocking fundamentals.

Report Offensive CommentWhen did Vernon Davis become an elite TE?
Lifer: A Special Boy | 03/09/08, 09:44 PM
Report Offensive Comment. . .I was talking about the draft dude.
You're saying Keller should be knocked down because he's never been required to be a great blocker.
I'm saying Davis wasn't a great blocker coming into the draft either.

He isn't slow according to that video.

Report Offensive CommentWhen was he ever regarded as slow?
I personally found the combine great when they were showing TEs. Mayock pretty much called everything Keller did (as in winning the 40-yard dash, winning the vertical jump, etc.).
Also, TEs amaze me. Cottam is a monster. Almost 6'8" and a 4.6 40 time. WHAT THE ****!?
