Expand I still think Malik is out of position in the middle. IMO, He would be more affective on the outside using his speed to get to the QB.

I expect him to be around 250lbs during fall camp, would suck to have to start a true freshman in the middle for the second straight year but I think he's actually more suited to do so than Malik. Wheeler is the starter on the weak side and pretty light, not sure he holds up in the middle. Maybe Edwin Freeman can get some reps there and allow Malik to move out to his more natural position?

Malik flashed so much more on film it's hard to say McNeal was better but he was definitely an elite prospect at the position coming out of high school. His problem is that he's a 'tweener IMO, he's nearly 240lbs and trying to play in the slot. He's better suited to play H/TE but he's short for the position. Tough luck but the kid is determined to catch passes at Texas so we'll see what happens when this new crop of receivers gets there. Quote
