This is kind of random..but how do players like Adam Thielen, Tarik Cohen..etc just go totally under the radar basically their whole life then blow up in the nfl.

I think a lot of has to do with rule changes and how limited the defense is now. Breathe on a WR wrong and its a penalty.
 
Gronk said hail Mary himself. He's an athlete though and could have made a play had he not slipped. He panicked.
Injuries have taken a toll on Gronk and isn’t the athlete he once was. If it was a hail marry situation then I’m fine with it but in that situation I’d much rather have a DB out there that is use to making tackles in the open field. Like I said if you wanted to put an offensive player out there I’d much rather have an elite athlete like Gordon or Patterson in a situation like that.

Well Thielen is a slow white WR that went to a Dlll Minnesota college and Cohen is a 5’6 180lb RB. Not hard to see why they were not highly thought of.

**Not trying to have a rase discussion just stating my opinion.**

Thielen clocked a 4.5 and couldn’t be covered at that camp. That’s why he got the practice squad slot. Hasn’t been able to be covered since. So...not slow. Hella white tho.
