Though wide receiver Calvin Austin III has yet to take an NFL snap, he’s already earning a big comparison by his college coach. Tucked away in Adam Caplan’s Monday notebook is a quote from Memphis head coach Ryan Silverfield, who made a gaudy comparison to Austin.
Here’s what Silverfield told Caplan.
“I can see some (former NFL WR) Percy Harvin in him,” Memphis head coach Ryan Silverfield recently told Pro Football Network. “I know (offensive coordinator) Matt Canada’s offense, and he will probably move him around.”
From a height/weight/speed standpoint, the two are similar.
