Didn't see a player thread for this guy, so thought I would create it.
He reminds me a little of Sanu for sure.

Amara Darboh WR Seahawks - Dynasty and Redraft Value (1 Viewer)

I know @EBF likes him a lot.
You make an interesting observation comparing him to Sanu. I hadn't really thought of him like that as a player who can run jet sweeps and is a bit of a RB/WR tweener in the Dontarius Thomas, Percy Harvin type mold.
What I have seen of Darboh was poor hands technique with the way he catches the ball which leads to a lot of drops and why I personally do not like him. However this is something that I think is coachable and if he could improve on that maybe he will become a nice WR.
I have serious doubts about that as I think he should have taken to coaching and learned how to do that properly before entering the NFL.
The Seahawks make some strange decisions at times which doesn't help my confidence in their decision here. I guess I will leave it at that and let people who like him talk about the way he wins.
Being able to catch the ball is the number one thing I think a WR needs to show they are able to do. If they drop passes they lose the confidence of the QB and coaching staff and can quickly see the bench if that is not corrected. So I don't have patience with that. Darboh is basically do not draft for this reason in my view but there are some players who have overcome this weakness and become decent NFL WR before.

Some do (hands of stone Willie Gault), and some do not (Troy Williamson). I agree, for the most part stay away from WRs that have bricks for hands.

He's also a bit like Enunwa

Why? Marshall is 34...signed a one year deal...might not make the team...granted darboh was a long shot lotto ticket to become anything anyway

I like Darboh. Decent SPARQ score, taken in the 3rd round, has opportunity in Seattle, and has a good QB to boot.

Then your comment above makes no sense..its not like they brought in jarvis landry or crabtree....darboh still has a shot

I've been waiting for a Seahawks WR to make something of themselves for years now. Darboh is just another notch in the belt that got away from becoming a part of their future. He won't last. I actually like him as a player but his hands are a big question mark, and he seems to be more athlete than football player. Doesn't strike me as a guy that learns the nuances of the game fast enough to become something important in fantasy circles.

Amara Darboh - WR - Free Agent
Seahawks waived WR Amara Darboh.
The Seahawks talked up Darboh as someone with the potential to take a step forward this season, but he ended up missing most of the summer with hip and collarbone injuries. That was no way to make the team for someone who forced himself onto the field for just 191 snaps as a rookie. The No. 106 overall pick of last year's draft, Darboh is a practice squad candidate.

Patriots claimed WR Amara Darboh off waivers from the Seahawks.
New England also claimed WR Chad Hansen from the Jets. The Patriots were expected to be aggressive on the wire after rostering just three receivers. A third-round pick out of Michigan in 2017, Darboh managed just eight catches for 71 yards as a rookie last year and battled injuries throughout training camp. Still just 24, Darboh is a smart flyer for the receiver-starved Pats. Sep 2 - 12:48 PM

I could see him doing well with Brady, but think Brady might like Hansen more.

Patriots waived WR Amara Darboh.
It is a bit of a surprise considering Darboh was just added off waivers on Sunday and the move leaves the Patriots with just four receivers on the active roster. It is possible New England hopes to slip Darboh onto the practice squad. Sep 4 - 1:05 PM

Bill Belichick Explains Why Patriots Claimed Receivers Chad Hansen, Amara Darboh
What makes you think Brady will like Hansen more?
As Darboh has already been cut, that does seem to be the case. Just curious what your opinion of Hansen is and why Brady might prefer him.

How long does it take to recover from "not talented enough to play professional football"?

more agility and flexibility. I like Hansen's leaping ability a little more than Darboh too, but not sure what the stats say. Hansen just seemed like the quicker guy on tape, and that's what Brady likes, quick, agile guys that can run routes. But I think Darboh's route running was underrated, just that he needed to get out of his bends a little quicker.

I honestly thought Russell Wilson would have liked Darboh though.
