Wow this is awesome thanks for link

Glad to hear it. Hope he cements a shot by the time the season roles around and shows off that 4.36 speed.

Too bad he wasn't good enough to start for the Hawkeyes. Of course, Iowa had all those speedy receivers ahead of him....

But can he block for them? That is the most important job for a receiver.

He started 12 games and had 500+ receiving yards his senior year. But don't let facts get in the way of a good bitching.

And Fetentz got crucified for it, as usual, since fans couldn't understand how a slow, white walkon could be starting except through the coach's stubborn refusal to start real "talent" over hard workers that know the playbook.

You would have been the first person bitching about "a slow white guy" playing anyway. It's amazing how invaluable this guy got once his Pro Day results were posted.

I hope Brady and that offense make him look awesome for 6 games, then he parlays that into a $100 million contract somewhere.

It is a bit of a head scratcher why he didn’t have more success in college given his forty time.

in 2016
McCarron had 42 receptions (led the team)
517 yards receiving (led the team)
12.3 yards per catch (did not lead the team)
77 yard touchdown was the longest touchdown on team
and 4 touchdown catches (tied with Vandeberg for most)

when Greg Davis was rockin it and rollin it... Riley McCarron was sevens

against Nebraska in 2016
McCarron had 5 receptions for 108 yards and 1 touchdown
77 yarder

think about this...
we might have 2 Riley McCarrons on this years team.
think about that.
