1995. Sr. Marvin Harrison, K Johnson(R-Fr), Jim Turner, Sir Mawn Wilson, Deon Maddox, Roland Williams, Kaseem Sinceno.

Pretty damn good.

Over Gadsden?

Oronde Gadsden lll is #1 no question.

At TE.

Pretty damn good.

There was some serious talent that year. Harrison ran circles around the Clemson DB’s in the Gator Bowl win 41-0. Johnson had one of the best catches I have seen in an SU Uniform as he completely laid out for a catch that I will never forget. Amazing athletes.

I will add that Williams and Sinceno were a phenomenal team of TE’s as well.

At TE.

WR or TE either or I guess. He is no more of a TE than you Bnoro. lol He is awesome reciever at 6'-4" and 220 lbs. Example D.K. Metcalf 6'-4" and 237 lbs.

Honestly Gadsden is a big slot/TE. He is not twitchy or fast enough to be a NFL X wr. Dalton Kincaid is the comp I like to use for Gadsden.

or Dalton Kincaid who is a TE at 6'-4" 235. probably where OG will be at this time next year, probably plays close to 230 this year

He isn't going to be drafted as a receiver in the NFL but TE

Your top TE. Rob Gronk 6'-6" 265 lbs. Or Jason Kelce 6'-4" 255 lbs

That's why I think OG, Justus, and Haynes have very complimentary playing profiles. Pena as well mixes nicely here.

I guess I see tight ends from old school where they had good size and a blocking skill and still get out and catch some balls. But either way he definitely will be drafted.

The game evolves. The Kyle Pitts and Brock Bowers types are essential.

Mang and Clement cover the big inline TE spot. Given everything I could see Clement moving on.

I could see that really happening too.

 

[cuse45]

Good discussion so far in this thread. I think Ross-Simmons allows us some time to bring along the very talented freshman, slowly, unless they really come in and earn PT quickly.

I think the varying skillsets and position flexibility we will have, will allow OC Nixon to mix and match personnel effectively. We will have the ability to utilize 10/11/12/21/22 personnel groupings and even with some variance within each personnel grouping. Allowing our offense to be so "multiple," it creates a lot of sleepless nights for opposing DC's.

John Mackey was a tight end who changed the position.

 

[kingtidge]

I am still expecting to wake up from this whole thing and have gerg be our coach and we are 1-10.

... at long last... the snowball is catching fire!

 

[rackman18]

John Mackey was a tight end who changed the position.

And darn good too.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Bring on the TEs. Time for a player at Syracuse to win the Mackey Award.

Slow motion...give it time.

 

[rackman18]

You know in 1966 his QB back then was Johnny Unitas threw 9 TDs to Mackey and 6 of those were over 50 yards. Mackey had good speed.

 

[GreekFreak]

Slow motion...give it time.

Amazing!

 

[721Comstock]

Trucked his own teammate!!

Now THAT is a TE.
