I would like to introduce you to the most dynamic player in this draft...

[LVCARDFREAK]

His name is Tavon Austin. He is a WR, RB, KR, PR and the most dynamic, probably fastest, player in this draft. What makes him special is his ability to make people miss in a phone booth. Electrifying!

Look at these numbers:

300 receptions
3500 Yards
30 TD's

Over the past 2 years he has lead the NCAA in KO Return and/or Punt return and has 5 return TD's.

Oh and this year they played him at RB for 3 games....how did he do?

700 yards on 70 attempts for 9.0 YPC and 3 TD's

But what makes him special is his hands and his ability to make people miss, see for yourself

This wasnt just one game....kid is unreal.

I think he has the ability to change the NFL from a punt/KO return and slot receiver standpoint....Love to see him in Cardinal Red.

 

[Mitch]

You beat me to it...although I have mentioned him a couple of times.

Imagine what BA would do with TA...look at what he did with rookie T.Y. Hilton last year and TA >>>T.Y.

As I mentioned in a previous thread---TA could mean 3-4 extra wins a season, and would suck the safeties into the middle to open up the outside with Fitz, AR, and MF.

When all is said and done I think TA will be a top 16 pick.

 

[BigRedRage]

likely no more kick returns as of next season but could return punts if everyones cool with pp7 losing that job.

I would love to see this kid in a Cardinal uniform! Wow! Speed ,the moves incredable. Thanks for posting this.

The Rams will take him IMO.

So which position do you then ignore in the first two rounds, QB or OL? Because, he isn't falling to the 3rd round.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Dude is going early 1st Round in my opinion because he is a hell of a WR, god he would be scary on the Patriot team. We have WRs...we need a OL to protect a QB which we also desperately need till we can even consider using the WRs we already have. Geno Smith needs to give Austin half of his first contract money because he made Geno look much better than he was

 

[ARZCardinals]

OL
OL
OL
OL

can he play OL? If not - move on nothing to see here

I can show you a highlight tape of Levi Brown in college...wanna see it

How about a Matt Leinart highlight tape in college.....

We need another WR like we need another punter

 

[kerouac9]

How is he different from DeSean Jackson? 5'9", 175 lbs?

Good luck with that, buddy.

While teams schemed around him, yet in some chances he underwhelmed a lot.

This.

They're thanking us now for taking Floyd ahead of them last yr.

Plenty different. Jackson has nowhere near the moves this Kat does. And perhaps Austin has nowhere near the prima donna attitude Jackson does.

In any case, Austin allows for a great argument to move back 3 or 4 slots in the first.

 

[desertdawg]

Sounds like a tiny Reggie Bush to me.

 

[JeffGollin]

If we hang onto LSH, he and PP21 can fill the same roles Austin would fill.

On paper, I don't know if he goes in the top 20, let alone the first round (not because he's not that good but because the top talent pool is especially deep this year, he might not rank as high as otherwise).

Then again, as they say: "All it takes is one GM who loves him."

 

[Superfuzz]

With so many holes, I think we'd be silly not to take Warmack or Joeckel where we're at. Just can't afford to spend a 1st on a skill position player right now. OL isn't sexy, but look at the two teams in the SB right now and look at their OLs.

I do love TA though and wish there is some way he would slip into the 2nd.

P Harvin clone and I mean that complimentary.

P Harvin clone and I mean that complimentary.

Percy Harvin is 2 inches taller and 10 lbs. heavier.

I'm sure this guy will find some niche in the NFL, but you can't use a 1st or 2nd round pick on a gadget player. Return game production is too unpredictable to rely on that as an estimator of value.

Anyone who uses a 1st round pick on this guy deserves to be laughed out of Radio City Music Hall.

Dude's gonna get broken in half.

I tend to agree. He's small, and his ridiculously sick moves won't work as well or as often against a field of 11 great players. He's going to find himself crumpled from an off balance hit.

His highlights are amazing, but that's college.

The funny ones are how often he gets knocked down by his team after scoring. They made a full highlight of that.

He does have some Barry Sanders in 'em.

It is highly unlikely the Cards grab him. I just think hes gonna be one of those guys, in a few years, teams will be kicking themselves for not taking. Too many needs on the Cards to trade into the late first round for him...im sure hes gone by early second at the latest

Your joking right? I am not going to explain the difference if you cant see it yourself.

And no short QB will ever make it in the NFL

Weak Arguement

 

[Shane]

I watched the video.He can make some cuts. But other than that not really all that impressed. This kid will get killed in the NFL IMO. I wouldn't spend no higher than a 4th. But thats just me.

 

[Chopper0080]

Personally, I have always thought Steadman Bailey's game translated better to the NFL.

 

[Jetstream Green]

I would rather spend a pick on one of the fastest guys in the draft that can be had later in the draft, Goodwin. Not the freak Austin is but would finally give the Cards some world class speed needed to stretch the field http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOdsTm_dj2M

Dont disagree with that. Great hands, runs good routes, body control.

But the thread was 'the most dynamic' player. Bailey doesnt have the speed or moves TA does.
