Maybe he wasn't sprinter fast, but he could jump four feet into the air. The Driver Steak needed some seasoning to be sure. He didn't really emerge until his fourth year in 2002.Originally Posted by Joemailman
I didn't actually forget. Driver was a star before this coaching staff was hired. No problem adding him to the list though.In a way, Driver was the anti-Janis. Not very big. Not real fast. Just a guy who ran great routes, had great hands, and was tougher than a 2 dollar steak.

Driver was actually pretty fast coming into the league (on top of being a world class high jumper). Driver's reported 40 time was slightly slower than Jeff's 40 time (4.45 to 4.42).

right. Driver was plenty fast. It may just be the fog of time, but I recall Driver sticking his nose in there and running the tough routes, the crossing routes, the inside curls and digs, finding gaps in the zone in the middle - routes where you get blown up a lot - not the easy sideline go routes.
