5 Wide receivers Philadelphia Eagles must avoid in 2020 NFL Draft

It’s amazing how things change. Once upon a time, there’s no way that a Florida native like Binjimen Victor ignores the Miami Hurricanes, the Florida State Seminoles, and the Florida Gators to go play football for the Ohio State Buckeyes, especially one who lived so close to what used to be called ‘The State of Miami’.

That’s exactly what happened though when this Fort Lauderdale native signed a letter of intent to go play ball in ‘The Horseshoe’.

In hindsight, two things can be taken from this, and Big Ten fans aren’t going to like one of them. One, sometimes it feels like Miami, Florida State, and Florida are never going to be good again. 18-year-olds have minimal experience with seeing how important these programs were to the landscape of college football.

The second point is this. As much as everyone would like to talk about the Big Ten with the same reverence that we have for the SEC, those two conferences seem to be in two different classes from a talent standpoint.

Sure, there are studs in the Big Ten, but those teams always seem to look slower when they step on the field with these teams from the south. Heck, the Clemson Tigers are an ACC team, and they’ve taken the measure of the Buckeyes twice in the College Football Playoff.

Tee Higgins is big, but he can run. Justin Jefferson is another example of that type of athlete. He can turn on the afterburners as well. Victor, on the other hand, turned in a 4.6-second 40-yard dash, and he looked pretty pedestrian with a 35-inch vertical and a 7.1-second three-cone drill.

It’s hard to imagine him running past anyone at the next level or fighting through anyone’s press when this six-foot-four, 198-pound pass-catcher can only do nine reps on the bench press. He’s got major red flags all the way around.
