Technically he wouldn't be a flip unless he commits somewhere else first.

 

[CuseOnly]

Wow!!

Kid has 40 receptions...and 20 of them went for touchdowns. That is one of the most ridiculous things I have heard.

Can't wait to see him in Orange!

All he does is catch Touchdowns.

[CbusCuse]

Jackson before Burnett!! I still would love to re-flip Burnett.

FYI this list isn't sorted with best first. Its sorted by position. Strange that we could eventually get 3 WR's from this list.

It is also strange to see Joey Porter Jr, Jeremiah Trotter Jr and Marvin Harrison Jr all on this list. Man i'm getting old...

I know right? Smh
