I'm a huge Michigan fan, and watched every game he played while in college while also watching a shit-on of college football in general over the years - which is why i feel pretty confident in saying that Braylon was the single greatest and most unstoppable WR i have ever seen in college ball! He was a little over 6'3", somethin like 210 pounds of muscle, (in other words he was extremely strong/powerful), had great ups, even better top-end speed, no fear at all going across the middle, (both at Michigan and in the pros), and truly phenomenal hands. Then there were other attributes that aren't as obvious: like him being an amazing route-runner or the fact that despite being at big as he was - he extremely quick/agile. So much so that he was as agile and quick as many short and speedy slot receivers! But the thing that i think really set him apart from other unstoppable WR's, due to that combo of speed, agility, and strength - he was the best I've ever seen at picking up yrds after the catch. He'd either make potential tacklers miss, out run them, or most impressively - break tackle attempts. He legit broke tackles better than most college RB's for fuck's sake! The only guy who had all these attributes/abilities was Calvin Johnson, but he wasn't quite as great while in college and improved significantly only after becoming a pro. . Early in his career as a pro, his dominance completely transferred over from his college play. Especially with the Brownies. He still holds the record for total receiving TD's in a season. Those first 3 or so years he was unstoppable. However, the fans legit despised him from the jump, him being a Wolverine and all, so when he suddenly started having some issues with dropped passes, he was viscously attacked by the local media and fanbase. Which of course, gave him somewhat of a complex over that and started having even more drops. Combine that with him not at all handling this criticism well and started bashing the fanbase, all this ultimate lead him to part ways and his career was never the same after that. Anyways - he may not heave been as great of a pro, but he was just a monster at Michigan. He had 80-somethin catches his Jr year and then nearly a hundred his last yr. And what makes that even more impressive was the fact he played with two other great WR's who both had a bunch of catches too, that being Steve Breaston and Jason Avant, (both turned out to be really good pro's as well). Along with Chris Perry at RB who had like 40 somethin catches in his SR year, (Edwards'' Jr yr), and Tim Massaquoi who was targeted a lot at TE as well. Then there's the fact that Carr at the time ran a pretty damn conservative run-based offense, and yet even with all those factors he still put up ridiculous numbers! Sorry for the rant
I agree with a lot of your assessment but you play a psychiatrist a bit too much about how the drops came to be. In college, he was a legit #1 WR. In the NFL, he had 1 season as one & the rest as a solid #2. No shame in that
@@salamisumo2 Good point bout the psych criticism. All i know is what i saw when he played. i watched every college and pro game he played, but after all it's still simply my opinion at the end of the day. He was unstoppable though, and his last 2 years at Michigan and his first few yrs with the Browns demonstrate as much. And when you look at how he seemed to completely, or for the most part, overcome his prob with dropping easy catches for a number of years to then suddenly start dropping passes consistently again, and when combined with what his dad said back then, i think it's pretty clear that this became a complex for him and really prevented him from having a Halm of Fame career that h seemed to be on the way to having those first few years.

@@8301TheJMan Thanks for the novel about Cement Hands Edwards
Yeah, that was a bit of a rant i guess, lol. Props to you for reading any of that ridiculously long screed lol. That said, "cement hands?" If you watched his whole college career and pro career- than you'd know just how dumb of a take that is. He didn't have a big problem with drops until after his first few years as a pro.
![Jamaal Charles Highlights [WSD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/CmiftKtHoHA/mqdefault.jpg)
The only wide receiver who I know who rather truck then juke
when he was with the jets I wanted them to win the super bowl. they had LT, Holmes, Jason Taylor. I wanted all those guys to get a ring
fam, that game against the steelers was a heartbreaker. Rookie Antonio Brown ended us lol
Damn Mark Sanchez has some solid throws here
Thanks.. Keep the highlights coming.. They're really fun to watch

This guy was a big help in Seattle. Basically won us the Pats game. Hell of a player
yeah crazy potential and if hill can catch the ball consistently the skys the limit for that kid
should have put backflip at the end tho but didnt think about it till you said it
not gonna lie mark sanchez was making some really good throws here
When he was on the Browns, he signed my helmet at a convention.
the man had too many good plays for us ;)
If it’s 3rd down….Braylon was getting that ball.
and dropping it
What's this song called?
About the Bass by Roksonix
Him and alshon jeffery are alike
It seems like he never needs to run!!!! He somehow can just walk into the endzone!!!
This music choice is not viewer friendly
Then he was on the Browns 😶
