When the Buccaneers drafted North Texas wide receiver Jaelon Darden in the fourth round of the NFL Draft last month, it was easy to draw comparisons between him and Antonio Brown, one of his new teammates in Tampa Bay.
It was somewhat the size, but more so the speed, skill set and the fact that Darden was a supremely talented pass-catcher from a non-Power 5 program being selected on the third day of the draft—just like Brown was when he was a sixth-round pick of the Steelers out of Central Michigan back in 2010.
