he probably coulda kissed the rim while he was up there too.

A lot of people overlook Torrey's size because of his very good speed but he could very well be a good threat in the Red zone because he tracks the ball pretty well over the shoulder and has a very good vertical jump and good size.

sweet.
Players, owners, get your "stuff" together I want to see this guy on the field !!

Yeah he's fairly big and can jump, but his hands and anticipation are still not quite there. I'm far more excited for his speed and separation ability.

I love the celebrations....theyre always so over the top and exaggerated!

Buddies and I are the same way when we sit on my deck and throw lacrosse balls through the pool basketball hoop, except not really.

how did he fair in the vertical jump at the combine?

He recorded a 41-inch vertical.

This kid is intriguing he has good size, speed, hands, and leaping ability. This being said why wasnt he drafted sooner he sounds like a complete receiver. He has the tape to back it up so why were the only ones seemingly interested in him. Some have said if we did not pick him up he would have fell to the mid 3rd.

He's not a complete route runner, and has been known to body catch. He also has some baby hands on him lol.

He has to learn to catch away from his body and use his hands more than his body before we use him consistently in jump ball situations.

He actually has average hand size for a human, receiver tend to have large hands. For instance jimmy smith only has 9' hands where as torrey has 8 5/8s, so if he were a corner they'd be pretty average.

Tandon Doss has 10 1/8. dude got MITS!

Michael oher also has longer arms than Joe Thomas and Jake long... So clearly he's the better LT.

Neeeed to see this guy on the field in a Ravens uniform!

Hahah "for a human" I like that line. Ya I meant from a receiver standpoint for hand size. I actually didnt know Oher had longer arms that Jake Long or Joe Thomas, weird cuz I swear I just read that ESPN article on him that said he had short arms.

The whole long arm craze started after Jake Long and Joe thomas got drafted. He has longer arms than Matt light, Jake long and Ryan Clady. but they all have "short arms." That just means they don't have freakishly long arms.
