    That's not the discussion at all. Even if he ends up being a body catcher only he can still make an impact as an NFL player in just the way he did on the TD reception. The discussion is about his limitations, not about if he can make an impact.

    Also, it's not only the hand size issue by itself, it's the hand size issue combined with drops. 21 drops in the final 2 years in college is a lot and that's what makes this an issue unless he shows that it shouldn't be.

    LOL yeah, that's true, but he's not in here all that often. Mr. Clutch is just a constant troll, and not even a good one at that.

    It was a good throw but still a tough catch. I'm not convinced every WR makes that catch

    If Houston ever wins a championship again, I am going to rent out a warehouse, and throw a party for all the clutchfans.

    The catch, you have to wear a sign with your username on it. I think it would be awesome and hilarious, like a Chive meetup but where we talk about sports.

    In preseason hope and hype spring eternal, but come on. This is a bit much.

    I thought the same thing when I read that. It couldn't possibly have been the Saints working on their base defense, or something along those lines......nope, CLEARLY everybody is terrified of Fuller. The kid looks good so far, but I don't think DCs around the league are shaking in their boots quite yet.

    Yeah they probably laid it on a bit thick, but Fuller's ability to take the top off of a defense is apparent already and it will force them to defend the Texans differently than they have in past seasons. Fuller still has his shortcomings, but he's one hell of a burner that will always demand a safety over the top. That alone is valuable.

    not only does them having to account for fuller's speed help the underneath passes for 1st conversions, but it opens up the running game. Loved that we incorporated some play action. It seemed like a lost art with fitzie and the tremendous talents of hoyett.

    Yep, those poor tiny hands. I'd rather have slow ass jalen strong whose main accomplishment is not being fat this year

    He takes the top off the defense. Gonna be fun to watch as long as the OL holds up and osweiler is decent
