For what its worth, Steelers' receiver, Antonio Brown, has averaged 116 receptions....1,570 yards.....and 10.5 TD's EACH of the past five NFL seasons.
May I add, also, Antonio Brown stands all of 5' 10''.
Here's the kicker....if you're blessed with speed and can run crisp routes, get a step (or two) of separation on the defender, and catch the damned ball when its thrown to you, odds are you can have a pretty good career in professional football. To date, AB surely has....and is showing no signs of slowing down either.
Conversely, the taller Dez Bryant had an issue with all three of those crucial bullet points. Gallup may be young but IMO he's already a step up in talent per the declining skills of the former Cowboy wideout. I seriously doubt we'll see any sideline antics from this young man as we often did with Dez. Another plus.
Bottom line, I think at 6 foot Michael Gallup will be just fine and (hopefully) put Terrance Williams' butt permanently on the bench by mid-season.
