When Production Doesn't Measure Up

There's two sides to every story. First, you have to ask, who wouldn't want a WR who stands nearly 6'3" with speed in the 4.4's and played in the Big Ten? Side two asks, who would want to draft a wideout with only 53 career receptions and only 5 TD's? Welcome to the world of Wisconsin's Paul Hubbard. Hubbard is a track star who has every infamous measurable you want in a football player except one - the statistics to back up his size and speed. The bottom line with Paul Hubbard is the same with most fringe prospects: If you have the right coaches with the talent and patience to teach the guy, you'll eventually have a decent pro on your hand. On the flipside, if your team doesn't have a history of coaching up day 2 WR prospects, don't get too excited if you hear Hubbard's name on April 27. He has all the tools to be successful, but will need the right situation for everything to come together.
