Who?

j/k
I always thought he should have been the go to guy just based on his size.

Good job David. I've noticed he's put on weight and moved to Te.

 

[9296potsguy]

It burns me to think of the lack of production at UT for him and Parker for them to be doing well in the NFL.

You aren't the only one

I think I remember that the coaches tried to get Martin to play TE in college, but he wouldn't go along with it.

 

[Jurevicious]

Yeah Fulmer advised him that he should move to TE b/c if he wanted to be in the pro's that TE would be the position he would have to play but Martin refused and stayed at WR and stayed hurt w/hamstring injuries

I remember a couple of things about Martin. When he first came to Tenn he was considered one of the fastest players and had one of the best hands. Unfortunately he grew into a TE. Also, I remember his senior year,2000, he played in the slot and he was AJ Suggs' favorite target.

In defense of Martin not moving to TE for CPF......Would you? I mean other than Witten CPF had only used TEs for blocking and I think they didn't use Witten very well.

In defense of Fulmer....he was right.

He's just a tad bigger than your average NFL WR. He reminds me of David Bostic. With that being said, I think he's a WR not a TE.

Now do you think Martin would have been a good enough blocker for the Ole' Offensive Lineman? I don't think so and he would have rode the pine.

We'll never know for sure...but he's obviously a good enough blocker at te in the nfl...you know, where Fulmer predicted he'd be.

He's a whole lot more than a tad bigger than an NFL WR. He's 6'5 265, thats much bigger than your average wide receiver.

How big is Mike Williams these days?

 

[TheDeeble]

Good job David. I've noticed he's put on weight and moved to Te.

He's been a TE since he was drafted.

 

[orangetd88]

He played some te in 2000 also, IIRC.

Wasn't he mainly at te when he caught all those passes over the middle against LSU that year, or was he in the slot?

 

[GAVol]

I think he was a slot receiver.

 

[orangetd88]

Now that I think about it, you are probably right.

 

[mattvols]

How big is Mike Williams these days?

6'4 230. He's got 35 lbs on one of the biggest receivers in the league. He's alot bigger than the average which would by my guess around 215.

3rd and long you could always count on Martin across the middle
