2013 Community Projections: WR Robbie Rhodes

I'm so confident that Baylor won't redshirt the talented true freshman that I'm including him in the projections. That's calling a shot right there.

We've never had a WR like Rhodes before, ever. Not with his combination of pedigree, skill, and potential for immediate impact. The closest I can think of is Kendall Wright, but they really aren't all that similar as players. KW made his living in the early years on the inside, making linebackers and safeties look like fools. Rhodes' game will be mostly on the outside, doing the same to unfortunate corners. But here are Wright's stats all the same. He's the last impact true freshman we've had at the WR position, so maybe his stats will be somewhat useful.

For Robbie, give me...

RECEPTIONS / YARDS / TOUCHDOWNS

We're not going to bother with any of that rushing business here. Just keep it simple. And discuss things in the fanpost, as always!

Oh, and if you disagree about Robbie playing at all this year, feel free to project him for no stats. I'll figure out a way to include that in the competition.
