    Does it "scare" anyone that 7 out of his 12 receiving touchdowns came against the likes of Marshall, James Madison, Maryland and Baylor. Baylor in particular has an absolutely pathetic defense.

    He had a huge game against Oklahoma but that was rushing yards/tds. Also, what happened during the second half of his season? Did he pull a Mike Wallace? Injuries?

    The guy is a weapon.. no doubt about it. I just don't think the guy should be a 1st round WR.

    I wouldn't take him at 17, but I don't want to play him twice a year either. Great potential as a returner if the team has the guts to use him that way. You always see some teams sit their potentially best returner for fear of losing them for their other duties as WR, RB, etc.

    a team that knows how to use Tavon Austin's talents properly drafting him.
    Like New England you mean? That is scarey.

    ok, agreed. Tom Brady and his three step drops hitting Austin and his 4.3 speed in stride on those little seven yard outs also scares me.

    WVU's D was worse than Baylors... they pretty much played from behind the whole second half of the season.

    Geno Smith is also an over hyped QB who didn't have the killer instinct... he pretty much goes into a shell once things stopped going his way. WVU was pretty pathetic last year IMO.

    all you have to do is get the ball in Tavon Austin's hands and he is a threat to take it all the way every time.

    This I would disagree with. Holgerson is learning to be a head coach. He did poorly on his defensive hires. That has been resolved.
