Jeremy Maclin vs Mike Wallace (1 Viewer)

[Phlash]

Also, Wallace has good hands, but Maclin has exceptional hands - he catches the ball well in heavy traffic, has a higher vertical ceiling, and right now is the superior athlete, even thoguh Wallace is a good athlete in his own right. Desean is great but Maclin is the better all around receiver. I have no qualms with thinking that Maclin will be the #1 on that team next year or the year after.

Wallace had a 4.5 inch higher vert than Maclin coming out of college. And also put up better numbers is 40, 20, and 10 yard time, broad jump, and 3 cone drill. I don't think workout numbers are the be-all end-all, but if Wallace fades, it won't be because of athletic ability.

I agree, Wallace is a great athlete. However, based on what I've seen of the two, Maclin moves quicker in games than Wallace does. That's not to say Wallace looks slow - far from it. I think Wallace is quite good, but based on what I've seen Maclin runs faster and jumps higher when he has the pads on. On top of this Maclin simply appears to be an all around better football player, in that his hands are great, and he is quite a tough player.
