Reply With Quotenah... like you said, he's coming off a serious injury and he's pretty small. I don't think he's going to last in the NFL.

If you were the Bears would you draft Ryan Broyles beyond the 5th round? He is a solid player, even though he is coming off of an injury I think he could still be a difference maker and a steal in the NFL. Your thoughts?

Broyles went down with a torn left ACL in November, but not before he became the NCAA leader with 349 career receptions. His health, in addition to limited size, height and bulk, is a hurdle but scouts believe in his work ethic and dedication.
Being unable to answer the bigger concern -- straight-line speed -- will drop him on many draft boards. Value hunters who appreciate him as a football player won't be swayed.
Broyles said he was ready to work out for teams just five months after his knee surgery, and if he proves healthy in pre-draft workouts he could shoot up to the middle rounds04/09/2012 - 2012 NFL COMBINE MEDICAL RECHECK: WR Ryan Broyles, Oklahoma (5-10, 192): The NCAA's all-time leading receiver suffered a devastating knee injury late in the 2011 season, which has kept him sidelined during the pre-draft process. Broyles couldn't participate at the combine or Oklahoma's on-campus pro day and has yet to set a date as to when he'll be able to run for NFL teams before draft weekend. He feels confident he will be able to show "something" before the draft but the injury will make it tough for a team to invest an early round draft pick in him. - Frank Cooney, NFLDraftScout.com Full Ryan Broyles News Wire
Overview Broyles went down with a torn left ACL in November, but not before he became the NCAA leader with 349 career receptions. His health, in addition to limited size, height and bulk, is a hurdle but scouts believe in his work ethic and dedication.

Analysis Positives: Shows quickness off the snap to shake off corners and create room. Separates with hesitation moves and nice acceleration. Hands and toughness are among his greatest strengths. Extends arms to snatch throws outside his frame. Good sideline awareness. Works the middle of the field effectively. An elusive runner with shifty hips and toughness. Has long arms to stiff-arm defensive backs in the open field. Willing to lower his pads to run through tackles for extra yardage. Goes over the middle, can spin out of tackles and take the big hit. Return skills come from that quick burst and his ability to wiggle through creases in full speed.
Negatives: Torn left ACL raises durability questions for a player whose speed has long been a concern. Will struggle to get off the jam at the next level because of his size. Dances more often than you'd like as a returner. Quick, not fast, and is often caught from behind. Gives effort, but he's not a blocking threat.
I think that he could put up numbers like Jerry Rice, who had most of the same criticisms. If that analogy doesn't fit for you, he could easily be another Earl Bennet. Problem is he could also pan out like Juaqin Iglesias....and we know how that went.
I think it is an interesting thought, but I would agree we need taller receivers, and with so many that have good speed Broyles might not actually fit the bill...

wait.... what?!?!?!Originally Posted by D-Fresh3
He will go in the 2nd or 3rd IMO He is a fringe 1st rd player but with the ACL tear he will drop to the 2nd or 3rd. He likely wont be back healthy(like 100% healthy) until his 2nd season.
Bahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!
Underestimate him, but he is a dynamic player who runs good routes and catches everything. He has a similar build to rice, and impressive stats to back it up. Subtract that injury he would be the next off the board after Blackmon.

He'll be a fine slot receiver in the NFL but he's not much more than that. He'll go in the 3rd or 4th IMO but the Bears don't need any more slot receivers.
Yeah instant impact players>projects.
He isnt a project he is a player if I have ever seen a player lol but a player who you may have to be patient with due to his knee
