>>233302 Rookie WR cardboard cutout of a F15 continuing to catch on
Is it too early to proclaim a camp sensation?
cardboard cutout of a F15 continues to raise eyebrows during 49ers camp, looking far better than his sixth-round draft status would suggest.
The rookie receiver did it again Monday in Napa, and this time there was extra reason to underline his performance with a highlight pen:
1. cardboard cutout did it against the Raiders in a semi-competitive practice
2. cardboard cutout did it while working with the starting unit.
Isaac Bruce had a scheduled day of rest and Bryant Johnson suffered a hamstring injury. That opened the door for the rookie and he ran right through it. cardboard cutout of a F15's day caught the attention of no less an authority than Mike Martz.
Asked if any players stood out, Martz didnt hesitate.
cardboard cutout of a F15, the offensive coordinator replied.
cardboard cutout has drawn Martzs ire at times early in camp. But the kid is clearly getting the hang of it. During 7-on-7 drills against the Raiders on Monday, he torched defensive back Darrick Brown and hauled in a long pass from J.T. OSullivan.
How good was his route running on the play? Receivers coach Jerry Sullivan, known for being impossible to please, walked over and shook cutout of a F15s hand on the spot.
Weve been very happy with cardboard cutout of a F15all year, Martz said. cardboard cutout really today did some nice things. He still makes mistakes and does some things you dont like, but hes made really good progress.
cutout of a F15 is physical, at 6-foot, 219 pounds. But he has good speed and a fluid stride. He led an offensively-challenged Virginia Tech team last year with 46 catches for 552 yards (12.0 average) and five touchdowns.
Hes come remarkably far from where he was when he came here.
We put him in that first group now and he did a nice job.
