Ranking the State's Receiving Corps

[BullsHater]

No way UCF has better receivers than us...Mike Walker is talented but he's certainly not any better than Peyton.   Depth doesn't put them over us either.

Why don't you line up Peyton on defense against Penn State and see how many interceptions he has, Walker is the real deal.

Huh? So Walker's a better DB how does that related to WR?

I think the intent was to highlight Walker's athleticism by referencing his performance as a DB in the Penn State game.  Walker demonstrated his range in that game snagging 2 INT's.

I maintain that Walker and Payton are at right about the same level at WR.  The 2005 season will obviously say a lot about that.

There's no doubting Walker's athleticism, now he needs to do it again as a receiver.

There is no question that Peyton and Walker are our team's most talented respective WR.  As far as who is better, time will tell.  Statistically they are fairly even.

After those two, I think it's fairly even, with a sllght nod to USF for overall experience and overall athleticism with the new corps brought in after the end of the 2004 season.

UCF has the clear edge at TE due to Darcy Johnson.  USF's Cedric Hill is a talent but with no experience.

Both teams have good talent at WR.

If they are even statistically, then Mike Walker has the advantage.  Remember how many times he played defense.  And then he actually played very little in one game because of his hip injury due to his defensive work.

At this point in time, Walker is better than Peyton.

Here are the career stats for each (catches/totalyards/ypc/Td):

Mike Walker          30      528      17.6      1 TD

Johnny Payton      22      469      21.3      2 TD

Both have had limited production based on their respective situations.  In 2005 they will both be asked to do a lot more.

Both are talented playmakers who have NFL potential.

Mav, rambling as usual.

Freak, thanks for the stat sampling.  That was Peyton as a true freshman.  Walker did well as a true frosh as well, and their numbers were similar when comparing them as frosh, however Peyton had 1 more catch, 1 more TD, almost a hundred more yards, and a much bigger ypc average.  

But, Walker's possibly the better DB. ;D
