    As a big Badger fan I love all the talk about Toon. He is off to a great start - 21 catches for 353 yards and 5 TD's through 4 games so far. I've been watching him for 3+ years and actually saw him play in HS as well. He has a pro sized body and uses his hands very well - plucks balls out of air vs. using his body to trap ball. Questionable speed and burst for next level but I think he could be a big time NFL WR if he can prove that to be wrong.

    If any of you want to check him out, tune into ABC this Saturday night. Big game at Camp Randall vs. Nebraska. Hopefully he'll put on a show

    Nothing against Nick Toon, but what are the chances he ends up on the Titans?

    About as good as any other player in next years draft I guess. I just saw his name pop up and, as a Badger fan, decided to talk him up a bit.

    If he is a really good receiver i'd love to see the Titans pick him.Jake Locker needs all the weapons he can get.

    Back in '06 one of the main things about VY's rookie year and even afterwards was the fact that we were horrible at WR.Hard to be good at the QB position when you have no weapons on the field.They made that mistake with Vince

    In 2012 and beyond they will set Locker up for success by having capable receivers on the field.

    under fishface the primary ability of a Titan WR was run blocking ability

    Avery clocked a 4.27 40 at the Houston Pro Day a few years ago....If he's even a shade of that he could still be a threat

    was even tempted to pick him up in fantasy :p, saying that he probably won't get a look in for a few weeks

    Avery said he ran a 4.27 in the 40 this summer, so his speed is back after knee surgery a few years back 17 minutes ago

    Avery if fit is a great pick-up though he's not the same type of WR as Britt obviously. Were he to get into the rotation next year then Britt , Washington and Avery form a strong hand.
