It really seems to me this is one of those cases where the player fits the system. I don’t think Colston is nearly as productive if he goes to another team.

———-

Yes 6’4″ 220 lb receivers who secrete stick em from his sudoriferous glands and are tougher than nails usually don’t translate well.

——-

If he secreted half as much seperation as he did stick em (or knee cartilage for that matter), other teams wouldve been glad to sign him.

Way too many knee surgeries (especially microfracture, which hes had more than one of) to give 40/20guaranteed over 5 years. VJ and his agent are lickin their chops now

Yes 6&#039;4&quot; 220 lb receivers who secrete stick em from his sudoriferous glands and are tougher than nails usually don&#039;t translate well.
