Is it Hayes, or was he the WR from Grand Rapids...#5 if I remember correctly. I was flipping back and fourth from that to the Shrine game, so the numbers all blended together?
I look at AFL and I can't help but see it as an excellent development tool for QB's and WR's. Look at Warner, he makes it look so easy. Why, because he got used to the fast pace of AFL...now it seems as if things have slowed down, to him.
WR's are operating with much less space to get open. I think there are more posession/WCO type WR's in AFL than there are pure down fielders, at least that's how I see them translated into the NFL. Orande Gadsden would be a good example.
Don't expect to see any AFLer's starting, but I can see some guys taking some roster spots as #4, 5 or 6 on the depth chart.
Who was the guy that went from AFL to Europe, back to AFL and then to the NFL all with in a one year span?
