I got to think about it some. But off the top of my head:
Matthew Golden really strikes me as a seperator, even with players pressing him and being bracketed, he can juke-double move his way open. Someone mentioned me loving Terry before that draft, and asking for comps. Thinking about it a little, Golden might be the best Terry comp for me. I liked Terry because while a late bloomer, he seperated really well and was an explosive deep ball threat. and did other things well including run blocking. He actually ended up a different pro NFL stylsitically than what he was in Ohio State. He ironically isnt a killer seperator or deep ball threat in the pros but does everything else so well ironically. But in short, I liked how he moved when I watched him. There was some fluidity to it that stood out to me.
Golden lol has become like McMillan with the mock drafters -- once cool, but I gather because of prospect fatigue he's been knocked now some. I do agree with the one criticism I often hear about him which he doesn't look like he runs a 4.3 as far as playing speed. He looks fast but not that fast. I agree with that. I think part of that is he's more of a straight line runner and he has some build speed to him. Lets take Kyle Williams who ran slower. Williams is a jet and accelerates as soon as he gets the ball, so his speed jumps out more. Golden is more straight line, ala Felton. Williams has more wiggle albiet he's somewhat straight line but he accelerates faster or so it seems when watching him. I think like Terry, Golden will be a better NFL player than college one.
As far as Higgins goes, he seperates fine to me. It's not his super power but he does it well enough. Especially for tall-wide catch radius WRs like him, I look for their body control and can they contort their body and rise to the catch point or create a lateral cushion (like a TE) for the QB to hit them in right space. Jayden does that well. And his hands are freakishly good IMO. Soft hands. I value WRs who can catch the ball with CBs draped on them because the NFL is more like that.
It took me awhile to digest this point watching WRs over the years. That is, are WRs given space or not? Pressed or not pressed. Tight man coverage or off man. Jayden from what I recall was given a lot of tight coverage. He wasn't given many free releases so he had to work harder to seperate. For example, watching Kyle Williams, he's given so many space to seperate that its difficult to deduce what he would be if he was actually pressed or had to deal with tight man coverage. Jayden when giving free releases seemed wide open especially on the first level. But when pressed IMO seperated enough. But if you watch WRs who are given all the space in the world to get open, their seperation skills are going to look at least superfically fantastic.
PFF has a score for man coverage and Jayden has one of the best scores in this group.
