There's no doubt that Ted Ginn Jr. is an explosive player. He piled up 1,487 yards (781 receiving, 706 on returns) last year as a member of the Ohio State Buckeyes.

I'm really tired of all the talk about Ginn's height or lack thereof. Here is some perspective: Chambers is also 5'11". Hakim is 5'10" Booker is 6', just one inch taller than Ginn. Mark Duper was 5'9" and weighed about 185. Mark Clayton was 5'9" and about 177 lbs.

Let's not get carried away about the size. How big was Marvin Harrison when he entered the league? How big is he now (probably very close)? Yes, having Peyton Manning throwing the ball helps, but Harrison does everything well.

Ginn needs to learn the art of being a go-to WR in the NFL. He has the speed, but he needs a lot more than that: hands, discipline, intelligence, guts, and luck!

It irritates me when people compare this kid to Devin Hester. Devin Hester is a DB, Ginn is a WR who will be able to do alot more than return kicks. I think he's closer to a Steve Smith, who has had a very nice career in the NFL despite his size, don't you think?
