I came across this article this morning (it's a few weeks old) and something caught my attention. I don't recall ever seeing this criticism of GT while Calvin was here.
"Johnson was much rawer as a route-runner and overall wide receiver as a rookie compared to Benjamin, who came from a more advanced system in college. They both are big. But Benjamin -- while very talented -- isn't in the same ballpark as Johnson."
This quote is from a former NFL scout. I honestly can't tell if he's saying Gailey's system was not advanced or if he's attributing Calvin's time at GT to Paul Johnson. Considering Gailey has been an NFL Offensive Coordinator and Head Coach, I would assume it's the 2nd.
Anyway, I just thought it was interesting. I think I remember some comments around the draft about him not being a polished route-runner, but never anything about the system. FWIW, he was a former Cleveland Browns scout, so maybe anything he's saying should be taken with a grain of salt anyway...
