falconfansince1968 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Shane Wynn will impress the coaching staff with his speed and route running. He was a beast at Indiana and when thrown to, always caught and turned a short gain to a long gain. Mark my words this kid is GOOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gHost83 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Just kinda reminds me of James RodgersBut faster by a light year. Dude ran a 4.34 and can turn on a dime. He can take head on contact too. Plenty of tape out there of him breaking initial contact and moving forward. The only other offensive weapon on Indiana other than Coleman. I'm pretty sure Coleman will be happy to see him in camp.

RandomFan Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 But....he's only 5'6" and 167lbs. That size is going to make it very very hard for him at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That size is going to make it very very hard for him at this level.We already have two hold over speed shrimps from last year. Reedy and Martino.

Tony Diesel Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Wynn did run a 4.29However, how many receivers do we keep, 5 or 6 at most?JulioRoddyHardyHesterHankersonWeemsAnd even as a return man, we have the greatest of all-time, Hester, and a pro-bowler in Weems.Would have to beat out the likes of Reedy and Martino just to make the practice squad.

BUT considering Hankerson's attributes, I think it's very likely he's on the 53.Hardy and Hester are slot receivers and since Roddy is slowing down, we need another outside WR who can stretch the field besides Julio.Hankerson is 6'2", runs a 4.4 40, has already been a NFL starter, ANNND already knows Shanny's system, so, everything is leaning in his favor. Weems is on the bubble but man, it's hard to find special team players like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifalcon Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Weems isn't on the bubble man he has reliable hands and I reckon fits nicely as my #5 WRer.ST's gunner Weems is one of the best in the league no way is this guy on the bubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Kent™ Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 This guy is a longshot to make the roster. I do like his game, but his size is definitely a concern. If we didn't have Hester i could see him having a legitimate shot as a returner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julio (lock)2. Roddy (lock)3. Hardy (lock)4. Hester (lock)5. Hankerson6. Weems?-Shanny loves using TEs, so we will carry at least 3, so in all likelihood, we will only have 5 receivers on the 53.-As important as special teams are, the offense still takes priority, so...Weems: 5'9" 4.53 40 time, career special teams player Hankerson: 6'2" 4.43 40 time, NFL starter before injury, already knows the offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-train Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I'll be beyond shocked if the guy can make the roster. He might replace Martino or Reedy on the PS, but that's likely about the ceiling for a guy that small, no matter how fast he is or how tough he seems.For perspective... the lightest WR on the 53 man roster is Hester at 190.That's 23 more lbs than Wynn, which is a MASSIVE difference.Hardy outweighs him by 25 lbsBoth Roddy & Hankerson outweigh him by 44 lbsWeems has 28 lbs on himJulio has 53 lbs on himHeII, even Reedy has 8 lbs on Wynn.It's not about Wynn being tough. The dude would get absolutely murdered in the NFL. His opponents are just too big & too fast for him to have the kind of impact he could in college. This is a huge part of why Reedy, despite all his speed, never saw real action. The coaches knew he'd be broken after one game.Wynn does have one thing going for him though...He's already a lock for the Annual Cole Magner Preseason Message Board Fan Favorite Award presented by Bear Woods.

I think its a battle for the slotwith hester hardy and hank.Plus hank is coming off a knee injury. Either way its going to be a deep competition at WR..

(assuming he's healthy)That's not to say Hardy can't play outside but he doesn't have the height or top speed of Hankerson. Hardy gets great separation, has excellent hands, and I wouldn't be surprised if he steps in as the slot receiver from day one.Of course, maybe we keep 6 receivers.
