Darrius Heyward-Bey

Nice hands, Feet!



"...hasn't helped that first round choice Darrius Heyward-Bey continues to struggle catching the ball. The seventh pick in the draft drops a pass or two or three at each practice. Part of it might be that he is pressing. Part of it might be his style of catching. He's more of a body catcher than a hands catcher, a technique he must fix."

~ESPN's John Clayton, Aug 23rd


Oakland signed this joke to a 5-year contract with a base salary of $38.25 million along with $23.5 million in guaranteed money. I have been watching football closely for nearly 20 years now and I have never heard of a WR that "isn't a hands catcher"...what in the hell does that mean? If the bar is so low, then make Sebastian Janikowski a friggin' WR.
