Pettway compared to Martin
- Thread starter Brandon
- Start date
I think what Pettway has been able to do in short time with a stable of capable receivers says a lot about his ability too. Already had established players in D Jones, Milton, and Kolar then add in the other guys like Shaw Jr, Chase Allen, Akers, and even Scates and Soehner who all get some snaps and get some targets too and it's pretty impressive the kind of impact he's had.
Speaking of that group I really like what we have seen from Sean Shaw Jr. in a limited role. He's a big receiver at 6-6 212 and maybe will grow into that Hakeem Butler type of receiver some day where Brock can just air out a jump ball and have him go up and beat the DB for it. Wouldn't mind seeing him in on a few more plays. Purdy has a lot of diverse options in the passing game this year even without Butler and Montgomery as his safety nets.

That was pretty line driven though outside of Shonn Greene and Wadley was pretty gifted. I’m sure I’m missing a couple studs but even Fred Russell’s success was mostly driven by an elite O-line.
We have 3 WR better than Iowa's best WR. That's a fact
When did he say he was their best receiver? The odds he said that with Collins, Black and Peoples-Jones on the roster is pretty small. I think he said he was their starting slot, which doesn't really exist there.
I could have been an all conference back with some of those lines. They converted a ******* fullback into an all conference type back at one point.
Looks like during Big 10 media days. His exact quote was Martin "was at top of the depth chart".

Harbaugh never said he was the best receiver, he said something about it being interesting Oliver Martin was transferring because he was looking to start this year. Now this was in the spring and there was a lot more evaluation to be done after getting the entire team together for the summer. So to firmly state Oliver Martin was going to be a starter for them this year would be a stretch, especially because he rarely sees the field for the Hawks right now.
That's what Harbaugh said and he meant at his specific position, which would be the slot. The writer makes it sound as if he was ahead of Collins, Black and DPJ, which is laughable considering those guys could all leave school this year.
